[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
[HYENAS, 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
[HYENAS, spoken]
Hey, boss!
[SCAR, spoken]
Oh, 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!
[HYENAS]
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?
[HYENAS, spoken]
Oh no, it's the lionesses
(sung)
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
[SCAR, spoken]
That's more like it!
[HYENAS]
But what I'd give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on the 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 d**h, 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?
[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, a loving family, a devoted queen -
[SCAR, spoken]
That's it! I need a queen!
[ZAZU, spoken]
A what?
[SCAR]
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 a**ets feminine [NALA, spoken] 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 - (NALA strikes SCAR.)
[SCAR]
Oh, Nala... you know how I loathe violence... One way or another, you will be mine
[NALA]
Never, Scar. Never!
[SCAR]
You belong to me
You all belong to me!
