[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' entrees!
[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 and 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 and Banzai:]
Oh no, it's the lionesses
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
[Scar:]
That's more like it
[Shenzi and 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!
[Zuzu:]
Well, he had adoring subjects… a loving family… a devoted queen…
[Scar:]
That's it! I need a queen!
[Zuzu:]
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
