Zazu, why am I not loved?
I am that rare and awesome thing
I'm every inch a king
Yet I feel a twinge of doubt
As I go walk about

Hey, boss!

When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?

Reggie who?

Tell me I'm adored
Please tell me I'm adored

Hey, boss!

Oh, what is it?

We got a bone to pick with you

There's no food, no water--

Yeah It's dinnertime, and there ain't no
stinkin' entr?es!

Oh, you and your petty complaints You don't know what real hunger is
Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being

I had that once It was worms

No, no, no it's like an itch deep, persistent, profound

That's it-- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is hunker
down and scoot

Thanks for the tip Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off
buzzards for your next bite!

Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunch
But how about some lunch?
It doesn't matter if it's fresh
I need a fix of flesh
My bones have moved to where they've never been
They are on the outside looking in

Are you blaming me?

Oh no, it's the lionesses

You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored

That's more like it

But what I'd give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on the spit

Oh, how I miss Mufasa

Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!

Note taken I shall never mention "M-m-m" again

Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!

Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting
headaches!

I am perfectly fine!
I'm better than Mufasa was
I'm revered
I am reviled
I'm idolized
I am despised
I'm keeping calm
I'm going wild!

I tell myself I'm fine
Yes I am, no you're not
Yes I am, no you're not
I tell myself I'm fine

No you're not, yes I am, no you're not
Yes I am
No you're not
Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to?

Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!

Oh, very well Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu?

Yes, Sire?

Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cu
What did my brother have that I don't have?

Do you want the short list or the long?

Whatever!

Well, he had adoring subjects a loving family a devoted queen

That's it! I need a queen!

A what?

A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I? A dead end, no line, no
descendants, no future With a queen, I'll have cubs Immortality will
be mine! Immortality will be mine!

Scar

Ah, Nala Your timing couldn't have been more perfect My how you've
grown

Scar, you have got to do something We're being forced to overhunt

She's got those assets feminine

You're the king Control the hyenas

I have to make her mine

You're destroying the Pridelands

Nobility in every gene

If we don't stop now Don't you see

She has to be my queen

there's still a chance for things to be all right again

Come, sweet Nala
It's written in the stars

What are you doing? Are you listening to me?

We'll create a host of little Scars

What are you talking about?

Tell me I'm adored

Get away from me

Tell me I'm adored
Oh, Nala you know how I loathe violence One way or another, you will
be mine

Never, Scar Never!

You belong to me
You all belong to me
