Be Prepared
Oscar: "Simba thought the future would be filled with only good things. (Laughs.) He believed it would be fun to be king! Pretty naive, huh? For you see, whenever there is power, there is always someone who wants to take it away from it. Case in point, Uncle Scar."
The setting changes to the elephant graveyard with rock pillars and cliffs, oozing pools of mud, canyons, gorges, geysers, and skeletons and bones of deceased elephants as the Main Villain of the story, Scar played by Squilliam Fancyson appears on an elephant skeleton platform prop on the left side of the stage.
Squilliam: "That cub stealing my Thunder and my title to become king, I won't allow it, I must have the throne!"
Oscar: "But Scar wouldn't give up so easily, so he entered into an unholy alliance with the laughing stock of the kingdom, the hyenas!"
Then coming from the right side side of the stage, the Hyenas appeared with the trio played by Team Rocket, the leader Shenzi played by Jessie, Banzai played by James, and Ed played by Meowth alongside Team Rocket Grunts and Wobbuffet.
Squilliam: "Shenzi! Banzai! Ed! Show yourselves!"
Meowth: "Look do we have here!"
James: "It must be the king's brother!"
Jessie: "This is a surprise, Why are you here Scar?"
Squilliam: "I've come to bargain with you."
James: "We love to bargain If it's something to eat!"
Wobbuffet: "Wobbuffet!"
Squilliam: "Exactly, Why have one meal, When you can be feasting for the rest of your lives."
Jessie: "And what can you offer us Scar?"
Squilliam: "A place where you could fill your bellies. For everything the light touches is yours for the kill."
Jessie: "The Pride Lands are not yours to give. The king controls those hunting grounds."
Squilliam: "Not anymore it will, that's why we're going to kill him. Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting. When I am king... The mighty will be free to take whatever they want. because a hyena's belly is never full."
Jessie: "Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge."
Squilliam: (Singing) Mufasa is yesterday's message, a clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage, the need for a different dream
Yes, leonine times are a-changin'
Which means that hyenas must too
My vision is clear and wide-ranging
And even encompasses you
I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain.
Then Scar walks down the elephant skeleton and struts about as the Hyenas dance about.
Squilliam(singing): I know that your powers of retention,
are as wet as a warthog's backside.
But thick as you are, pay attention!
Scar shouts to Wobbuffet who stupidly salutes him.
Squilliam: My words are a matter of pride.
It's clear from your vacant expressions,
the lights are not all on upstairs.
But we're talking kings and successions!
Even you can't be caught unawares.
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Jessie: And where do we feature?
Squilliam: Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
The Hyenas laughed and cackled as they agreed with Scar's Plan
Meowth: "Yeah, be prepared. We'll be prepared. For what?"
Squilliam: "For the death of the king."
Meowth: "Why is he sick?"
Squilliam: No, fool, if you weren't listening, we're gonna kill him. And Simba, too."
James: "Then that means no more king?!"
Jessie: "Great idea! Who needs a king?"
Jessie, James, and Meowth: (Sing-sing) No king, no king, la la la la la.
Squilliam: "Idiots! There will be a king!"
Meowth: "Hey, but you said-"
Squilliam: I will be king, Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!"
Jessie, James, and Meowth: (with Wobbuffet laughing with joy) "Yay, all right! Long Live the King! Long Live the King!"
Team Rocket Grunts: " Long Live the King! Long Live the King!"
The Hyenas started marching in military style on the stage.
Hyenas: It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored
Squilliam: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
The Hyenas and Scar danced as some of the Hyenas played instruments using bones and skeletons.
Squilliam: So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Hyenas: Oooooo, la-la-la!
Squilliam: Meticulous planning
Hyenas: We'll have food!
Squilliam: Tenacity spanning
Hyenas: Lots of food
Squilliam: Decades of denial
Hyenas: We repeat
Squilliam: Is simply why I'll
Hyenas: Endless meat!
Squilliam: Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth
And ambitions are bared
Be Prepared
Hyenas: Be Prepared
Be Prepared
Be Prepared
Be Prepared (Chanting)
Squillaim: Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
Be Prepared!
All: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
BE PREPARED!
The stage becomes dark as Scar and the Hyenas laugh into the night with their plot to kill Mufasa and Simba once and for all.
