The Madness of King Scar

Heather Headley -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 dinnertime and there ain't no

Stinkin'entrees

Oh 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

You are so adored

Oh 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 m m m 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 a loving family 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 got 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

If we don't stop now don't you see

She has to be my queen

There's still a chance for things to be all right again

Come sweet nala

It's written in the stars

What are you doing 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 adored

Oh 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
