Elton John - Madness of King Scar lyrics

[SCAR, spoken] Zazu, why am I not loved? (sung) 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 [HYENAS, spoken] Hey, boss! [SCAR] When my name is whispered through the pride Is this talk of love or regicide? [SHENZI, spoken] Reggie who? [SCAR] Tell me I'm adored Please tell me I'm adored [HYENAS, spoken] Hey, boss! [SCAR, spoken] Oh, what is it? [BANZAI, spoken] We got a bone to pick with you [SHENZI, spoken] There's no food, no water [BANZAI, spoken] Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrees! [SCAR, spoken] 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, spoken] I had that once. It was worms [SCAR, spoken] No, no, no... it's like an itch... deep, persistent, profound [BANZAI, spoken] That's it - worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is hunker down and scoot - [SCAR, spoken] Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite! [HYENAS] 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, spoken] Are you blaming me? [HYENAS, spoken] Oh no, it's the lionesses (sung) You are so adored Oh, you are so adored [SCAR, spoken] That's more like it! [HYENAS] But what I'd give for one more hit Of wildebeest kielbasa Or maybe hornbill on the spit [ZAZU, spoken] Oh, how I miss Mufasa! [SCAR, spoken] Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name! [ZAZU, spoken] Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again [SCAR, spoken] Even in d**h, his shadow looms over me. There he is! No! There he is! And there! [ZAZU, spoken] Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches! [SCAR, spoken] I am perfectly fine! (sung) 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, spoken] Oh, pull yourself together, Sire! [SCAR, spoken] Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu? [ZAZU, spoken] Yes, Sire? [SCAR, spoken] Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cub. What did my brother have that I don't have? [ZAZU, spoken] Do you want the short list or the long? [SCAR, spoken] Whatever! [ZAZU, spoken] Well, he had adoring subjects, a loving family, a devoted queen - [SCAR, spoken] That's it! I need a queen! [ZAZU, spoken] 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, spoken] Scar - [SCAR, spoken] Ah, Nala... your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My, how you've grown... [NALA, spoken] Scar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to overhunt [SCAR] She's got those a**ets feminine [NALA, spoken] 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 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 - (NALA strikes SCAR.) [SCAR] 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!
