    From the day we arrive on the planet

    And blinking, step into the sun
    There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done
    There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high
    In the sapphire sky
    Keeps great and small on the endless round

     

    It's the Circle of Life
    Animals: Ingonyama engine wemma x 14 (sung under the chorus)
    And it moves us all

    Through despair and hope
    Through faith and love
    Till we find our place On the path unwinding
    In the Circle

    Already learnt in class – Juniors sing highlighted yellow section from “everybody look left” to the end, remember not to sing simba’s line “everywhere you look I’m” and make sure you practice this one with the actions as it is a finished routine.

     

    Simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware!
    Zazu: Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair
    Simba: I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my ROAR!!
    Zazu: Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
    Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

     

    Simba and Zazu:
    No one saying do this | Now when I said that, I--
    No one saying be there | What I meant was...
    No one saying stop that | Look; what you don't realize...
    No one saying see here | Now see here!
    Free to run around all day | Well that's definitely out...
    Free to do it all my way!

     

    All: Everybody look left
    Everybody look right
    Simba: Everywhere you look I'm
    All: Standing in the spotlight
    Zazu:Not yet!
    All: Let every creature go for broke and sing
    Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
    It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
    Simba: Oh I just can't wait to be king!
    All: Oh he just can't wait to be king!
    Simba: Oh I just can't waaaaaait ...
    All: just can't waaaaaait ...

    *New Song* All juniors sing sections highlighted in yellow, some named hyenas have lines

     

    Scar: I know that your powers of retention
    Are as wet as a warthog's backside
    But thick as you are, pay attention
    My words are a matter of pride  
    It's clear from your vacant expressions (ooooooh ha ha ha)
    The lights are not all on upstairs (ooooooh ha ha ha)
    But we're talking kings and successions (ha ha ha)  (ha ha ha ha)
    Even you can't be caught unawares

     

    Lets prepare for the chance of a lifetime
    Be prepared for sensational news
    A shining new era
    Is tiptoeing nearer
    Edie: And where do we feature?
    Scar: Just listen to teacher (HA x 21)

    I know it sounds sordid
    But you'll be rewarded
    When at last I am given my dues!
    And injustice deliciously squared
    Be prepared!

    Banzai:  Yeah, be prepared. We'll be prepared, heh ... For what?
    Scar: For the death of the king.
    Effie: Why? Is he sick?
    Scar: No fool, we're going to kill him. And Simba too.
    Shenzi: Great idea! Who needs a king anyway?
    All Hyneas: No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!
    Scar: IDIOTS! There will be a king!
    Banzai: Hey, but you said, uh...
    Scar: I WILL BE KING! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
    Banzai, Shenzi, Eddie and Ed:  Yaay! All right! Long live the king!

     

    All:
    Long live the king! (spoken)

    So prepare for the coup of the century
    Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh... Ha! Ha! Ha!)
    Meticulous planning (We'll have food!)
    Tenacity spanning (Lots of food)
    Decades of denial (We repeat)
    Is simply why I'll (Endless meeeeeeeeeeeat)
    Be king undisputed
    Respected, saluted
    And seen for the wonder I am (HA x 7)
    Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
    Be prepared!
    Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!

    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


    All: Pride Land
    My land
    Tear-stained
    Dry land
    Take this
    With you
    Fatshe leso

     

    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 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

    We sit alone and watch your light, Our only friend through teenage nights
    And everything we want to get, We down-load from the internet

    No need to think, no need to feel
    When only Cyber space is real
    It makes us laugh. It makes us cry
    It makes us feel like we can fly, We can fly!

    A blueprint for our life on-line
    Touch any key The world is mine
    We're lost in space but we don't care
    Without your light our world's not there
    Complete control you are the power
    Our lives are programmed by the hour
    Global show, Global show

    All we hear is Radio ga ga, Video goo goo, Internet ca ca
    All we hear is Cyber space ga ga
    Marketing blah blah
    Always something new?
    Global soft All your world loves you!

    We watch our shows we watch your stars
    Across our screens for hours and hours
    We hardly need our eyes or ears
    We just log on and our dreams appear
    Global show

    Inters: We're not alone, we have our friends
    On Cyber love we can depend
    So stick around 'cos we'd all miss you
    We need our Graphics need our visual
    Complete control You are the power
    You use our lives up by the hour
    Global show

    All we hear is Radio ga ga, Video goo goo, Internet ca ca

    All sing second chorus.

    Timon: I can see what's happening
    Pumba: What?
    Timon: And they don't have a clue
    Pumba: Who?
    Timon: They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line Our trio's down to two.
    Pumba: Oh.
    Timon: The sweet caress of twilight
    There's magic everywhere
    And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air

    North and South Star:
    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?

    All: Can you feel the love tonight?
    The peace the evening brings
    The world, for once, in perfect harmony
    With all its living things

    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 wonderer
    Simba and Nala: just to be with you

    We sit alone and watch your light, Our only friend through teenage nights
    And everything we want to get, We down-load from the internet


    No need to think, no need to feel
    When only Cyber space is real
    It makes us laugh. It makes us cry
    It makes us feel like we can fly, We can fly!


    A blueprint for our life on-line
    Touch any key The world is mine
    We're lost in space but we don't care
    Without your light our world's not there
    Complete control you are the power
    Our lives are programmed by the hour
    Global show, Global show


    All we hear is Radio ga ga, Video goo goo, Internet ca ca
    All we hear is Cyber space ga ga
    Marketing blah blah
    Always something new?
    Global soft All your world loves you!


    We watch our shows we watch your stars
    Across our screens for hours and hours
    We hardly need our eyes or ears
    We just log on and our dreams appear

    On Cyber love we can depend
    So stick around 'cos we'd all miss you
