Be Prepared for VoicePlay

Lite kort sådär. Har du hört VoicePlay's nya? Lyssna, lyssna, lyssna! Och ja, titta gärna.

"Be Prepared" kommer från Disney's Lejonkungen, och sjungs av det onda lejonet Scar, bror till Kung Mufasa. Han har sällskap av sina lömska - men inte så smarta - hyenor, och med deras hjälp planerar han att döda Mufasa. Då ska han själv kunna ta över tronen, och äntligen bli kung!

Allt är gjort acapella, dvs det finns inga instrument med i låten.

(Texten finns längst ner om du är intresserad.)

"Brilliant, VoicePlay!", säger jag. Vad tycker du?

Texten på engelska finns här!

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

The lights are not all on upstairs

But we're talking kings and successions

Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for the chance of a lifetime

Be prepared for a sensational news

A shining new era

Is tiptoeing nearer

And where do we feature?

Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid

But you’ll be rewarded

When at last I am given my dues

An injustice deliciously squared

Be prepared

"Hey, did you hear that?

Hmm, what's up?

He's talking about the lion, yeah, the dad and the cub

I think I know him

What are we gonna do?

We could turn him into a delicious stew

Ooh, then he'll pay his price

But who will be the king if we end his life

Well, not Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa

No king, no king, la, la, la, la, la, la

Could someone please explain this thing?!"

Idiots, I'll be the king

Long live the king!

It's great that we'll soon be connected

With a king who'll be all-time adored, hey

Of course, quid pro quo, you’re expected

To take certain duties on board

The future is littered with prizes

And though I’m the main addressee

The point that I must emphasize is

You won't get a sniff without me

So prepare for the coup of the century

Be prepared for the murkiest scam

Meticulous planning

Tenacity spanning

Decades of denial

Is simply why I’ll

Be king undisputed, respected, saluted

And seen for the wonder I am

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared
