Be Prepared(From ”The Lion King” / Soundtrack Version) - Jeremy Irons

I never thought hyenas essential

If allied to my vision and brain

I know that your powers of retention

Are as wet as a warthog's backside

But thick as you are pay attention
纵使你们迟钝，也须专心聆听
My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expressions

To take certain duties on board
