türkçe'de hazır ol anlamına gelen söz öbeği. aynı zamanda lion king filminde kötü karakter olan scar tarafından söylenen şarkının adıdır. jeremy irons tarafından seslendirilmiştir. sözleri de şöyledir:
[scar:]
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 a chance of a lifetime
be prepared for sensational news
a shining new era
is tiptoeing nearer
[shenzi:]
and where do we feature?
[scar:]
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!
[spoken]
[banzai:] yeah, be prepared.
yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.
...for what?
[scar:] for the death of the king.
[banzai:] why? is he sick?
[scar:] no, fool-- we're going to kill him. and simba too.
[shenzi:] great idea! who needs a king?
[shenzi (and then banzai):]
no king! no king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!
[scar:] idiots! there will be a king!
[banzai:] hey, but you said, uh...
[scar:] i will be king! ...stick with me, and
you'll never go hungry again!
[shenzi and banzai:] yaay! all right! long live the king!
[all hyenas:] long live the king! long live the king!
[full song again]
[hyenas: {in tight, crisp phrasing and diction}]
it's great that we'll soon be connected.
with a king who'll be all-time adored.
[scar:] 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 addressee
the point that i must emphasize is
you won't get a sniff without me!
so prepare for the coup of the century
(oooh!)
be prepared for the murkiest scam
(oooh... la! la! la!)
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
(oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
be prepared!
[all:]
yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
be prepared!
hoodwinked filminin en güzel şarkısıdır. söyleyenin japeth adlı bir keçi olduğu** gözönünde bulundurulmalıdır.
Sözleri:
37 years ago a witch done put a spell on me
A spell where when I'm talkin' I'm singin' it with glee.
When you're always singin' you got to live alone
That's why I made this mountain shack my home.
And when you're on the mountain, you got no guarantees
That life will turn up roses or turn out as you please.
When you're on the mountain, there's lots to be a'feared
That's why this here old mountain goat's prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
This lesson must be shared,
This lesson must be shared,
Be prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
And unless you got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!
(goat yodelling)
I got horns that open bottles,
And I got horns that hold my keys,
I got horns that when you turn 'em right, they help me watch TV.
I got horns that open pickle jars,
And horns that come with hair,
I got horns that hang my other horns -
I always come prepared.
Be prepared, be prepared,
This lesson must be shared,
This lesson must be shared,
Be prepared!
Be prepared, be prepared,
And unless you got a spare,
You got one life, so handle it with care!
Yeeeheeeee! Keep your hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all times!
(goat yodelling and more)
Ooooooh, an avalanche is comin' and I do not feel prepared,
It's rumblin' like a mountain lion - I must say that I'm scared,
And if not for the witch's spell you'd hear just how I scream,
But since I'm only singin', I'll just yodel 'til we're creamed!
