The song's themes include ambition, betrayal, and the darker aspects of leadership. Its dramatic orchestration and menacing tone enhance the sinister plot, contributing to the film's cultural impact as a classic villain anthem.
[SCAR, spoken]
I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
[SCAR, sung]
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 sensational news
A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer
[SHENZI]
And where do we feature?
