BE PREPARED: MY OWN TRANSLATION

This is my translation from the Swedish of Be Prepared. It's inspired by the Swedish version Var Beredd, sung by Rikard Wolff as Scar, which is pretty abstract, so it can also apply to humans. So it's the version I have used as base for all of my Be Prepared filks (and these filks of mine are legion, by the way).

BE PREPARED... 

LEADER: I know that all your apprehension
can't the slightest concept understand.
Though you're obnoxious, pay attention!
I will share something I now have planned.
It's clear you don't have the experience,
of how this is done not a clue...
A royal entrée, with my clearance...
And quite soon we'll be through with our coup!

So prepare for the chance of our lifetime!
So prepare for sensational rise!
A future of glory...
This is no mere story...

HENCHWOMAN: And where do we fit in?

LEADER: Soon, you'll be admitting
great prizes, awarded.
I'll have you rewarded,
at least a little more than you were!
When our influence to the skies has flared...
Be prepared!

HENCHMAN: So be prepared... But prepared for what?
LEADER: For the death of the King!
HENCHMAN: And why? Is he ill?
LEADER: Oh yes, soon he will be dead, and his little lad too...
HENCHMAN, HENCHWOMAN: Great idea! Who needs a king?
No liege lord, no liege lord, na-na-na-na-naaaa-na!
LEADER: Idiots! There will be a king...
HENCHMAN: But you said...
LEADER: I will be next in line!
Follow me, and you will never starve again!
ARMY OF EVIL: Great idea! Come on! 
LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE KING!
ARMY OF EVIL: Come one, come all, soon, we're united,
with a new reign that calls for a feast!
LEADER: So what? Quid pro quo, you're expected
to take duties at which you fail least.
The first prize is right for the taking,
if you my instructions obey...
For without my wit's undertaking,
all of you would be lost and astray!
So prepare for the coup of the century,
be prepared for the end of the game!
Such a careful planning,
such great actors spanning...
Our ruler's a zero,
and never a hero!
This will soon be over,
the tables turned over,
the right ruler shall soon be revered!
I stand highest, all else must be cleared!
Be prepared!
OFFICERS: I stand highest, all else must be cleared!
Be prepared!

You know how people
Have these little habits
That get you down. Like Jasper and Horace
They didn't know their fabrics
I asked for spots
No, not stripes not dots. Spots
So I came home this one day
And I am really irritated, and I'm
Looking for a bit of sympathy
And there's Jasper and Horace lyin'
On the couch, drinkin' a beer
With ten yards of dotted fabric
No, not spots. Dots
So, I said to them
I said, "you buy me dots one more time... "
And they did
So I took the shotgun off the wall
And I fired two warning shots
Into their heads

[All]
They had it coming
They had it coming
They only had themselves to blame

If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha you would
Have done the same!

[Evil Queen (Spoken) ]
I met Doc in a faraway land
About two years ago
He told me he was single
And we hit it off right away
So, we started living together
He'd go to work, in a little jewel mine
He'd come home singing Heigh Ho, I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner...
And then I found out
"Single" he told me?
Single, my glass! Not only was he married!
Oh, no, he had six men
One of those dwarfs, you know
So that night, when he came home from work
I fixed him his drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold their apple juice

[All]
Hah! He had it coming
He had it coming
He took a flower
In its prime
And then he used it
And he abused it
It was a murder
But not a crime!


[Ursula (Spoken) ]
Now, I'm standing over the cauldron
Making us some catfish for dinner
Minding my own business
And in storms Prince Eric
In a jealous rage
"You've been screwin' King Triton, "
He says. He was crazy
And he kept on screamin'
"You've been screwin' King Triton. "
And then he ran into my tentacles
He ran into my tentacles eight times!

[All]
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same!

[Queen of Hearts (Spoken) ]
Dumbo, La Dark, Marcus Mouse
Pluto Junior, Amelia Fieldmouse, Archimedes
Babette, Tigerlily, Madame de la Grande Bouche
Humphrey the Bear, Drizella
Le... Le Fou, le mirror, Banzai, Kronk, Shooluvutsoo


[Ursula (Spoken) ]
Yeah, but did you do it?

[Queen of Hearts]
Uh Uh, not guilty!

[Scar (Spoken) ]
My brother, Mufasa and
I had this circus act
And my lady, Sarabi
Used to tag along with us
Now, for the last number in
Our act, we did 20 acrobatic tricks
One two three four, five... splits, spread eagles
Back flips, flip flops
One right after the other
So, this one night before the show
I go down to the hotel Figaro
Hanging with the hyenas
Havin' a few laughs, and
We ran out of zebra
So I ran out to get some
I come back, into the den
And there's Sarabi and
Mufasa doing Number Seventeen- the spread eagle

Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out. I don't remember a thing
It wasn't until later
When I was washing the blood off my paws
I even knew they were dead

They had it coming
(They had it coming)
They had it coming
(They had it coming)
They had it coming all along
(They had it coming all along)
I didn't do it
(he didn't do it)
But if I'd done it
(But if he'd done it)
How could you tell me that I was wrong?

They had it coming
(They had it coming)
They had it coming
(They had it coming)
They had it coming all along
(I guess the lion sleeps tonight)
I didn't do it
(he didn't do it)
But if I'd done it
(But if he'd done it)
How could you tell me that I was wrong?


[Maleficent (Spoken) ]
I loved King Stephan
More than I can possibly say
He was an artistic guy
Sensitive and full of wishes
But he was always trying
To find himself
He'd go out every night
Looking for himself
And on the way,
He found Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather
I guess you can say we broke up
Because of artistic differences
He saw himself as alive
And I saw him dead

[All]
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

They had it comin'
(They had it comin')
They had it comin'
(They had it comin')
They had it comin'
(They had it comin')
All along
(All along)
'Cause if they used us
('Cause if they used us)
And they abused us
(And they abused us)
How could you tell us That we were wrong?
(How could you tell us That we were wrong?)


He had it coming
(He had it coming)
He had it coming
(He had it coming)
He only had himself to blame
(He only had himself to blame)
If you'd have been there
(If you'd have been there)
If you'd have seen it
(If you'd have seen it)
I betcha you would have done
The same!

[Cruella (Spoken) ]
You buy me dots one more time!

[Evil Queen (spoken) ]
