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´ entrées!

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 cub
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
