作词 : Elton John/Tim Rice 作曲 : Elton John/Tim Rice 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 I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog’s backside But thick as you are, pay attention 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 And where do we feature? 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! Yeah, be prepared
For the death of the king Why, is he sick? No, fool, we're going to kill him
Great idea Who needs a king? No king, no king, la-la la-la la la Idiots! There will be a king!
I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again
Yeah! All right! All right! Long live the king!
It’s great that we’ll soon be connected With a king who’ll be all-time adored 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! So prepare for the coup of the century (Oooh!) Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh... La! La! La!) Meticulous planning (We’ll have food!) ( Tenacity spanning (Lots of food) ( Decades of denial (We repeat) ( Is simply why I’ll (Endless meat) ( Be king undisputed (Aaaaaaah...) Respected, saluted (...aaaaaaah...) And seen for the wonder I am (...aaaaaaah!) Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared (Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo) Be prepared! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared - Be prepared!
