[00:00.105] Heather Headley -The Madness of King Scar
[00:00.463] Zazu why am I not loved
[00:05.932] I am that rare and awesome thing
[00:09.116] I'm every inch a king
[00:12.467] Yet I feel a twinge of doubt
[00:16.248] As I go walk about
[00:18.396] Hey boss
[00:20.03] When my name is whispered through the pride
[00:25.543] Is this talk of love or regicide
[00:29.955] Reggie who
[00:31.06] Tell me I'm adored
[00:34.555] Please tell me I'm adored
[00:38.689] Hey boss
[00:39.606] Oh what is it
[00:40.687] We got a bone to pick with you
[00:42.297] There's no food no water
[00:43.992] Yeah it's dinnertime and there ain't no
[00:46.95] Stinkin'entrees
[00:46.933] Oh you and your petty complaints you don't know what real hunger is
[00:51.69] Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being
[00:55.630] I had that once it was worms
[00:58.268] No no no it's like an itch deep persistent profound
[01:05.95] That's it worms when they get really bad all you gotta do is
[01:10.411] Hunker down and scoot
[01:14.574] Thanks for the tip ingrates if it weren't for me you'd be beating off
[01:19.715] Buzzards for your next bite
[01:21.783] Yeah you're our savior thanks a bunch
[01:24.493] But how about some lunch
[01:27.105] It doesn't matter if it's fresh
[01:29.675] I need a fix of flesh
[01:31.940] My bones have moved to where they've never been
[01:37.811] They are on the outside looking in
[01:40.817] Are you blaming me
[01:42.726] Oh no it's the lionesses
[01:47.711] You are so adored
[01:49.203] Oh you are so adored
[01:52.37] Oh you are so adored
[01:54.265] That's more like it
[01:55.973] But what I'd give for one more hit
[01:58.208] Of wildebeest kielbasa
[02:01.215] Or maybe hornbill on the spit
[02:04.204] Oh how I miss mufasa
[02:06.649] Mufasa mufasa how dare you I told you never to mention that name
[02:14.601] Note taken I shall never mention m m m again
[02:18.427] Even in death his shadow looms over me
[02:23.394] There he is
[02:25.13] No there he is
[02:27.286] And there
[02:28.320] Calm yourself sire or you'll get another one of your splitting
[02:31.546] Headaches
[02:32.42] I am perfectly fine
[02:38.409] I'm better than mufasa was
[02:41.137] I'm revered
[02:41.991] I am reviled
[02:43.819] I'm idolized
[02:44.989] I am despised
[02:46.476] I'm keeping calm
[02:47.368] I'm going wild
[02:50.52] I tell myself I'm fine
[02:51.340] Yes I am no you're not
[02:52.663] Yes I am no you're not

[03:26.928] Do you want the short list or the long
[03:29.588] Whatever
