The Madness of King Scar
Zazu, why am I not loved?I am that rare and awesome thingI'm every inch a kingYet I feel a twinge of doubtAs I go walk about
(Hey, boss!)
When my name is whispered through the prideIs this talk of love or regicide?
(Reggie who?)
Tell me I'm adoredPlease tell me I'm adored
(Hey, boss!)
Oh, what is it?
We got a bone to pick with you
There's no food, no water--
Yeah.It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrées!
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
I had that once. It was worms
No, no, no...It's like an itch...Deep, persistent, profound...
That's it-- worms!When they get really bad all you gotta do is...Hunker down and scoot
Thanks for the tip.Ingrates!If it weren't for meYou'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite!
Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunchBut how about some lunch?It doesn't matter if it's freshI need a fix of fleshMy bones have moved to where they've never beenThey are on the outside looking in
Are you blaming me?
(Oh no, it's the lionesses!)You are so adoredOh, you are so adored
That's more like it
But what I'd give for one more hitOf wildebeest kielbasaOr maybe hornbill on the spit...
(Oh, how I miss Mufasa!)
Mufasa?! Mufasa?!How dare you!I told you never to mention that name!
Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again
Even in death, his shadow looms over meThere he is!No! There he is!And there!
Calm yourself, Sire,Or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches!
I am perfectly fine!I'm better than Mufasa wasI'm reveredI am reviledI'm idolizedI am despisedI'm keeping calmI'm going wild!
I tell myself I'm fineYes I am, no you're notYes I am, no you're notI tell myself I'm fine
No you're not, yes I am, no you're notYes I amNo you're notYes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to...?
Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
Oh, very well.Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?
Yes, Sire?
Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cubWhat did my brother have that I don't have?
Do you want the short list or the long?
Whatever!
Well, he had adoring subjects...A loving family...A devoted queen...
That's it! I need a queen!
A what?
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!
Scar!
Ah, Nala...Your timing couldn't have been more perfect.My how you've grown
(Scar, you have got to do something.We're being forced to overhunt)She's got those assets feminine(You're the king. Control the hyenas)I have to make her mine(You're destroying the Pridelands)Nobility in every gene(If we don't stop now.. Don't you see...)She has to be my queen(...there's still a chance for things to be all right again...)Come, sweet Nala! It's written in the stars(Wait! What are you doing? Are you listening to me?)We'll create a host of little Scars(What are you talking about?)Tell me I'm adored(Get away from me)Tell me I'm adored!
Oh, Nala...You know how I loathe violence...One way or another, you will be mine
(Never, Scar. Never!)
You belong to meYou all belong to me!
