Be Prepared (Reprise)

The Be Prepared (Reprise) is a song that was intended to appear in Disney's 1994 animated film, The Lion King. It would have featured Scar introducing his pride to their new leaders, the hyenas, but was cut for being considered too dark and scary. The song can now only be found on the DVD and Blu-Ray versions in the special features.

The song was by Scar's voice actor Jeremy Irons. The hyenas were performed by a chorus.

LyricsEdit

It's time you were all introduced
To your ruler's executive staff
Perhaps not the kind you've been used to
But certainly gamed for a laugh

We like to assure you no fooling
Red meat is no longer our scene
And if now or then we're seen drooling
It's only an ancestor's gene

So be prepared for a glorious future
Be prepared for the pride's golden age

It's like any other
Who'd murder a brother

If we don't spread rumors
He'll feed us and groom us

With friends in high places
We hold all the aces

So don't try and rattle my cage

Oh, imagine if anyone dared
Be prepared
Oh, imagine if anyone dared
Be prepared
