The Madness of King Scar

Zazu, why am I not loved?

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

Hey, boss

When my name is whispered through the pride

Is this talk of love or regicide?

Reggie who?

Tell me I'm adored

Please 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 dinner time and there ain't no stinkin' entrees

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 me, you'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite

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

Are you blaming me?

Oh, no, it's the lionesses

Oh

You are so adored

You are so adored

Oh, you are so adored

That's more like it

But what I'd give for one more hit

Of wildebeest kielbasa

Or 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 mmm-mmm-mmm again

Even in death, his shadow looms over me

There 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 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?

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 cub

What did my brother have that I don't have?

Do you want the short list or the long?

Whatever

Well, he had adoring subjects (No)

A loving family (No)

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 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

Look if we stop now, don't you see?

She has to be my queen

There's still a chance for things to be alright again

Come, sweet Nala, it's written in the stars

Wait, what, what are you doin'?

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 ah

Ah, Nala

You know how I loathe violence

One way or another, you will be mine

Never, Scar, never

You belong to me

You all belong to me
