[BANZAI]
He called us slobbering!

[SHENZI]
Said we were mangy!

[BANZAI]
Did I hear stupid?

[ED]
[spoken] Huh?

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
Tell us again -- gee
It's so incredible

[SHENZI]
That you're so rude

[BANZAI]
When you're so edible

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
When you are food!

[BANZAI]
[spoken] It's time to chow down

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
[spoken] Chow down!
[sung] Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down

[SHENZI]
I'm chompin' at the bit, baby

[BANZAI]
My stomach's on a growl, son

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
Chow down!
Chow down!
You both been invited on a date
Two courses handed to us on a plate
We'll have you raw, won't be long to wait

[BANZAI AND SHENZI AND ED]
Seeing you're already toasty brown
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!

[BANZAI]
You're ribs are looking so tasty

[SHENZI]
Such chewy little chops, chums

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
Eat up!

[SHENZI]
Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
And having parents eaten makes us mad

[BANZAI]
We're gonna settle up the score a tad

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
We've never had a snack of such renown
Chow down!
Chow down!

[ED]
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-

[SHENZI]
[spoken] What, Ed? What is it?

[BANZAI]
[spoken] Hey, did we order this dinner to go?

[SHENZI]
[spoken] No.

[BANZAI]
[spoken] Well, there it goes!

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
I think we should begin the meal from scratch
So many juicy segments to detatch
Be good as gold for you're as good as carved

[SHENZI]
[spoken] Here, kitty kitty...

[BANZAI AND SHENZI]
[spoken] We're starved!

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]

[Chant repeats]

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
