[SCAR, spoken]
Zazu, why am I not loved?
(sung)
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
[BANZAI, spoken]
Hey, boss!
[SCAR]
When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
[SHENZI, spoken]
Reggie who?
[SCAR]
Tell me I'm adored
Please tell me I'm adored
[BANZAI, spoken]
Hey, boss!
[SCAR, spoken]
Ahh, what is it?
[BANZAI, spoken]
We got a bone to pick with you
[SHENZI, spoken]
There's no food, no water
[BANZAI, spoken]
Yeah
It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrees!
[SCAR, spoken]
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—
[BANZAI, spoken]
I had that once
It was worms
[SCAR, spoken]
No, no, no
It's like an itch
Deep, persistent, profound
[BANZAI, spoken]
That's it— worms!
When they get really bad, all you gotta do is hunker down and scoot—
[SCAR, spoken]
Thanks for the tip
Ingrates!
If it weren't for me you'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite!
[BANZAI & SHENZI]
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
[SCAR, spoken]
Are you blaming me?
[BANZAI & SHENZI, spoken]
Oh no, it's the lionesses
(sung)
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
[SCAR, spoken]
That's more like it!
[BANZAI & SHENZI]
But what I'd give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on a spit
[ZAZU, spoken]
Oh, how I miss Mufasa!
[SCAR, spoken]
Mufasa?! Mufasa?!
How dare you!
I told you never to mention that name!
[ZAZU, spoken]
Note taken
I shall never mention "M-m-m" again!
[SCAR, spoken]
Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!
[ZAZU, spoken]
Calm yourself, sire
Or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches!
[SCAR, spoken]
I am perfectly fine!
(sung)
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?
Ah ha ha ha!
[ZAZU, spoken]
Oh, pull yourself together, sire!
[SCAR, spoken]
Oh, very well
Zazu?
Zazu, Zazu, Zazu?
[ZAZU, spoken]
Yes, sire?
[SCAR, spoken]
Nobody loved me, there's the rub
Not even as a cub!
What did my brother have that I don't have?
[ZAZU, spoken]
Do you want the short list or the long?
[SCAR, spoken]
Whatever!
[ZAZU, spoken]
Well, he had adoring subjects
[SCAR, spoken]
No
[ZAZU, spoken]
A loving family
[SCAR, spoken]
No
[ZAZU, spoken]
A devoted queen
[SCAR, spoken]
That's it! I need a queen!
[ZAZU, spoken]
A what?
[SCAR, spoken]
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!
[NALA, spoken]
Scar...
[SCAR, spoken]
Ah, Nala
Your timing couldn't have been more perfect
My, how you've grown
[NALA, spoken]
Scar, you have got to do something
We're being forced to overhunt
[SCAR]
She's got those assets feminine
([NALA, spoken] You're the king. Control the hyenas)
I have to make her mine
([NALA, spoken] You're destroying the Pride Lands)
Nobility in every gene
([NALA, spoken] If we don't stop now... Don't you see?)
She has to be my queen
([NALA, spoken] There's still a chance for things to be all right again)
Come, sweet Nala
It's written in the stars
([NALA, spoken] What are you doing? Are you listening to me?)
We'll create a host of little Scars
([NALA, spoken] What are you talking about?)
Tell me I'm adored
([NALA, spoken] Get away from me!)
Tell me I'm adored—
[SCAR, spoken]
Oh, Nala...
You know how I loathe violence...
One way or another, you will be mine
[NALA, spoken]
Never, Scar
Never!
[SCAR]
You belong to me
You all belong to me!
