Madness of King Scar lyrics
Madness of King Scar
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 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
SCAR:
I have to make her mine
NALA (spoken):
You're destroying the Pride Lands
SCAR:
Nobility in every gene
NALA (spoken):
If we don't stop now... Don't you see?
SCAR:
She has to be my queen
NALA (spoken):
There's still a chance for things to be all right again
SCAR:
Come, sweet Nala
It's written in the stars
NALA (spoken):
What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
SCAR:
We'll create a host of little Scars
NALA (spoken):
What are you talking about?
SCAR:
Tell me I'm adored
NALA (spoken):
Get away from me!
SCAR:
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! Last Update: March, 04th 2019
