"Be Prepared" is a song from the 1994 Disney animated film and the 1997 Broadway musical The Lion King. The song was composed by Tim Rice(lyrics) and Elton John(music) and originally performed by Jeremy Irons, Cheech Marin, Jim Cummings (who took over after Irons's voice gave out), and Whoopi Goldberg in the film and by John Vickery, Kevin Cahoon, Stanley Wayne Mathis, and Tracy Nicole Chapman in the original Broadway cast for the musical.
The song is performed as a musical number by Scar. Lusting for the position as king of the Pride Lands, a title held by his envied older brother Mufasa, he constantly spends time devising evil schemes that could potentially earn the throne for him with the assistance of his hyena minions, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. In it, Scar is inspired to develop a plot in which he will arrange for both Mufasa and his nephew Simba to be murdered and notifies his spotted hyenas about it through song, earning a large army of minions for himself through his pledge to spare the hungry animals from starvation if they provide him with assistance.
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 expression
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for 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!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

[Hyenas] Yeah, we'll be prepared.
Be prepared for what?
[Scar] For the death of the king.
[Hyenas] Why, is he sick?
[Scar] No, fools. We'll kill him. And Simba too!
[Hyenas] Great idea! Who needs a king? No king, no king, la la la la la la.
[Scar] Idiots! There will be a king!
[Hyenas] Hey, but you said, uh...
[Scar] I will be king. Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
[Hyenas] Yay! All right!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!

It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

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 addresse
The point htat I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me

So prepare for the coup of the centrury
Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh!)
Meticulous planning (We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning (Lots of food)
Decades of denial (We repeat)
Is simply why I'll (Endless meat)
Be king undisputed (Aaaaaaah!)
Respected, saluted (Aaaaaaah!)
And seen for the wonder I am (Aaaaaaah!)

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

"Circle of Life" is a song from Disney's 1994 animated film The Lion King. Composed by Elton John, with lyrics by Tim Rice, the song was performed by Carmen Twillie(the deep female lead vocals) and Lebo M. (opening Zulu vocals) as the film's opening song. In an interview, Rice said he was amazed at the speed with which John composed: "I gave him the lyrics at the beginning of the session at about two in the afternoon. By half-past three, he'd finished writing and recording a stunning demo." Elton John sang a pop version (with alternative lyrics) of the song with the London Community Gospel Choir, which was included in the film's soundtrack and made into a music video. "Circle of Life" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1994, along with two other songs from The Lion King: "Hakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," the latter of which won the award.
The song reached No. 11 in the UK and No. 18 in the United States and is featured frequently in attractions based on The Lion King, such as Disney theme parks and parades. Michael Crawford sang it as part of a medley for The Disney Album in 2001.
The song will be featured in Disney's 2019 photorealistic computer-animated remake of The Lion King and was used in the first trailer of the film, a near shot-for-shot remake of the opening of the original animated film.
Carmen Beth Twillie(born April 8, 1950) is an American studio singer and actress. She is a long-time friend of Tommy Morgan and has appeared as guest soloist with Morgan's choir. She is best known for singing the Elton John and Tim Rice song "Circle of Life" in the beginning of the 1994 Disney animated feature The Lion King. She worked with Pink Floyd for their 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, providing additional voices. She provided the singing voice of Stormella in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie in 1998 and she was a vocal singer in Cats Don't Dance. She does a couple small voice roles in The Nightmare Before Christmas as the Undersea Gal and the Man under the bed. She also appeared on the Chowder episode Sing Beans doing one of the voices for the sing beans along with voice actors Jess Harnell, John DiMaggio, and Tara Strong.
She also is a backup singer, having appeared in several albums released by artists such as Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life.

Puisque l'ombre gagne
Puisqu'il n'est pas de montagne
Au-delà des vents plus haute que les marches de l'oubli

Puisqu'il faut apprendre
A défaut de le comprendre
A rêver nos désirs et vivre des "ainsi-soit-il"

Et puisque tu penses
Comme une intime évidence
Que parfois même tout donner n'est pas forcément suffire

Puisque c'est ailleurs
Qu'ira mieux battre ton coeur
Et puisque nous t'aimons trop pour te retenir
Puisque tu pars

Que les vents te mènent où d'autres âmes plus belles
Sauront t'aimer mieux que nous puisque
L'on ne peut t'aimer plus

Que la vie t'apprenne
Mais que tu restes le même
Si tu te trahissais nous t'aurions tout à fait perdu

Garde cette chance
Que nous t'envions en silence
Cette force de penser que le plus beau reste à venir

Et loin de nos villes
Comme octobre l'est d'avril
Sache qu'ici reste de toi comme une empreinte indélébile

Sans drame, sans larme
Pauvres et dérisoires armes
Parce qu'il est des douleurs qui ne pleurent qu'à l'intérieur

Puisque ta maison
Aujourd'hui c'est l'horizon
Dans ton exil essaie d'apprendre à revenir
Mais pas trop tard

Dans ton histoire
Garde en mémoire
Notre au revoir
Puisque tu pars

Dans ton histoire (dans ton histoire)
Garde en mémoire (garde en mémoire)
Notre au revoir (notre au revoir)
Puisque tu pars (puisque tu pars)

J'aurai pu fermer, oublier toutes ces portes
Tout quitter sur un simple geste mais tu ne l'as pas fait
J'aurai pu donner tant d'amour et tant de force
Mais tout ce que je pouvais ça n'était pas encore assez
Pas assez, pas assez, pas assez

Dans ton histoire (dans ton histoire)
Garde en mémoire (garde en mémoire)
Notre au revoir (notre au revoir)
Puisque tu pars (puisque tu pars).
ONE JUMP AHEAD

"One Jump Ahead" and its reprise are two songs from the 1992 Disney animated film Aladdin. They are both performed by Aladdin(Brad Kane in the film, and Adam Jacobs in the musical).
Aladdin had a lot of rewrites during production, and many songs were cut as characters were written out of the script or as the plot was altered. At one point, the song which showed Aladdin being at his lowest point and wanting to strive for more with his life was entitled "Proud of Your Boy", and was directed at his mother who was disappointed by his life choices. After being controversially cut, another attempt was 'Count On Me' a "low-key "I want" song" for Aladdin. Eventually the song 'One Jump Ahead' and its reprise were chosen.
"One Jump Ahead" and "A Whole New World" were written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice for Aladdin after Howard Ashman died in March 1991. Ashman and Menken had originally written a series of musical numbers, many of which were cut. The Cinema Scene explains "Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim [was] A jumpy tune that helped to inspire "One Jump Ahead" in the final film".
[Aladdin:] Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
(That's everything!)

One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

[Crowd:] Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!

[Aladdin:] Just a little snack, guys
[Crowd:] Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin:] I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!
[Crowd:] Who?
Oh it's that Aladdin's hit the bottom.
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

[Crowd:] Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:] Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
[Crowd:] Wrong!

[Aladdin:] One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Street rat!)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump.
