The Madness of King Scar
Scar
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
Banzai
Hey, boss!
Scar
When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
Shenzi
Reggie who?
Scar
Tell me I’m adored
Please tell me I’m adored
Banzai
Hey, boss!
Scar
Oh, what is it?
Banzai
We got a bone to pick with you
Shenzi
There’s no food, no water–
Banzai
Yeah. It’s dinnertime, and there ain’t no stinkin’ entrées!
Scar
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
I had that once. It was worms
Scar
No, no, no… it’s like an itch… deep, persistent, profound…
Banzai
That’s it– worms!
When they get really bad all you gotta do is… hunker down and scoot
Scar
Thanks for the tip. Ingrates!
If it weren’t for me you’d be beating off
buzzards for your next bite!
Shenzi & Banzai
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
Are you blaming me?
Shenzi & Banzai
Oh no, it’s the lionesses
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
Scar
That’s more like it
Shenzi & Banzai
But what I’d give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on the spit…
Zazu
Oh, how I miss Mufasa
Scar
Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you!
I told you never to mention that name!
Zazu
Note taken. I shall never mention “M-m-m” again
Scar
Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!
Zazu
Calm yourself, Sire, or you’ll get another one of your splitting headaches!
Scar
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…?
Zazu
Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
Scar
Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu…?
Zazu
Yes, Sire?
Scar
Nobody loved me, there’s the rub, not even as a cub
What did my brother have that I don’t have?
Zazu
Do you want the short list or the long?
Scar
Whatever!
Zazu
Well, he had adoring subjects… a loving family… a devoted queen…
Scar
That’s it! I need a queen!
Zazu
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
Scar
Scar
Ah, Nala… Your timing couldn’t have been more perfect. My how you’ve grown
Nala
Scar, you have got to do something. We’re being forced to overhunt
Scar
She’s got those assets feminine
Nala
You’re the king. Control the hyenas
Scar
I have to make her mine
Nala
You’re destroying the Pridelands
Scar
Nobility in every gene
Nala
If we don’t stop now.. Don’t you see…
Scar
She has to be my queen
Nala
…there’s still a chance for things to be all right again…
Scar
Come, sweet Nala
It’s written in the stars
Nala
What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
Scar
We’ll create a host of little Scars
Nala
What are you talking about?
Scar
Tell me I’m adored
Nala
Get away from me
Scar
Tell me I’m adored
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
Shadowland
Chorus
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Nala
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river’s dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I’ll remember my pride
| Chorus
Prideland My land Tear-stained Dry land Take this With you Fatshe leso |
Nala
I have no choice I will find my way Lea halalela Take this prayer What lies out there Lea halalela |
Chorus
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Nala
Beso bo, my people, beso bo

Endless Night
Simba
Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?
Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone
You promised you’d be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You’re not anywhere
When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day
When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can’t find the way
You promised you’d be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You’re not anywhere
I’m trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare
Chorus
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine
Simba & Chorus
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine
Simba
I know
Yes, I know
The sun will rise
Yes, I know
I know
The clouds must clear
I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And I’ll hear your voice deep inside
I know that the night must end
And that the clouds must clear
The sun
The sun will rise
The sun
The sun will rise
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Timon
I can see what’s happening
Pumbaa
What?
Timon
And they don’t have a clue
Pumbaa
Who?
Timon
They’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom line
Our trio’s down to two.
Pumbaa
Oh.
Timon
The sweet caress of twilight
There’s magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster’s in the air
Chorus
Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Simba
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She’d turn away from me
Nala
He’s holding back, he’s hiding
But what, I can’t decide
Why won’t he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?
Chorus
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Simba & Nala
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn’t look too far
Stealing through the night’s uncertainties
Love is where they are
Nala
And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do
Simba
It’s enough for this restless wanderer
Simba & Nala
Just to be with you
He Lives in You (Reprise)
Chorus
Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala

Wait, there’s no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see

Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Chorus
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
Rafiki
He lives in you
Simba
He lives in me
Chorus
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
