Tamer's Story: Duets
"Alright!" announced Kazu. "Those were all great solos! Give yourselves some applause!"
The tamers all clapped and smiled at each other.
"Now, let's see if you guys can follow through with duets! Jeri! Come up here and tell us what we're doing for duets!"
Jeri got up on the stage, and taking the mic from Kazu, she announced, "Ok guys! As you know we're doing duets now! They'll all be from the Lion King series of movies! So, get suited up and give a nice big round of applause for our first duets, Ryo and Rika! Ft. Henry!
Ryo:
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Henry:
I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
Ryo:
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Henry:
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
Ryo:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Ryo: No one saying do thisHenry: Now when I said that--
Rika and Ryo: No one saying be thereWhat I meant was--
Ryo: No one saying stop that What you don't realize--
Rika: No one saying see here Now see here!
Ryo: Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
Free to do it all my way!
Henry:
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart
Rika:
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
Henry:
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Ryo:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Rika:
Everybody look right
Ryo:
Everywhere you look I'm--
Both:
Standing in the spotlight
Henry:
Not yet
Background Singers:
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Ryo:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Rika:
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
Ryo:
Oh, I just can't wait...
Rika:
Just can't wait
Both:
To be king! (1)
"Wow, nice guys!" applauded Kazu.
"Yeah!" agreed Jeri. "And if you haven't guessed it, they were doing the song 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' from the first movie! Ryo was our Simba, Rika was our Nala, and Henry was our Zazu! Next, we're going to welcome me and Takato!"
Jeri:
There's
a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling
world can be turned away
Takato:
An
enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this
restless warrior just to be with you
Both:
And
can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough
for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you
feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make
kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Jeri:
There's
a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting
kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
Takato:
There's
a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this
star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
Both:
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where
we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this
far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to
rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very
best (2)
"Wow, nice guys!" Kazu commented as the two finished singing. "And next up, we have Henry and Julia!"
The two got up on stage where they congratulated everyone on a job well done, before taking the mics and letting the song start.
Julia:
In a perfect world
One we've never
known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can
have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or
strong or smart
But some where in my secret heart
I
know
Love will find a way
Any where we go
I'm home
If you
are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Some how
we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a
way
Henry:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is
never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect
world
Shining in your eyes
Both:
And if only they could
feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love
will find a way
Any where we go
we're home
If we are there
together
Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come
through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
"Ahhh!" Jeri screamed. "That was so cute! If you guys didn't know, the song was 'Love Will Find A Way' from the second Lion King movie! Henry was Kovu and Julia was Kiara! Anyway, last but not least, we have Kazu, Alice and Kenta!"
Kazu:
There's a place where the crazy moon
Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon
And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom
Will carry you away
Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines
And the rhino rhumba in a conga line
And the pink flamingoes are intertwined
As the stars come out to play
All:
In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will lead you there
Kazu:
You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep
Better hold your breath cause the water's deep
It's a long way down over Lovers' Leap
But falling's half the fun!
All:
In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will take you there
Kazu:
You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow
From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll find Upendi wherever you are
Oh underneath the sun
All:
In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will take you there
Alice:
Upendi!
All:
Down In Upendi
Way down
In Upendi!
