original broadway cast of the lion king - madness of king scar lyrics

[scar, spoken]
zazu, why am i not loved?

(sung)
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

[hyenas, spoken]
hey, boss!

[scar]
when my name is whispered through the pride
is this talk of love or regicide?

[shenzi, spoken]
reggie who?

[scar]
tell me i’m adored
please tell me i’m adored

[hyenas, spoken]
hey, boss!

[scar, spoken]
oh, what is it?

[banzai, spoken]
we got a bone to pick with you

[shenzi, spoken]
there’s no food, no water

[banzai, spoken]
yeah. it’s dinnertime, and there ain’t no stinkin’ entrees!

[scar, spoken]
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 –

[banzai, spoken]
i had that once. it was worms

[scar, spoken]
no, no, no… it’s like an itch… deep, persistent, profound

[banzai, spoken]
that’s it – worms! when they get really bad all you gotta do is hunker down and scoot –

[scar, spoken]
thanks for the tip. ingrates! if it weren’t for me you’d be beating off buzzards for your next bite!

[hyenas]
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

[scar, spoken]
are you blaming me?

[hyenas, spoken]
oh no, it’s the lionesses

(sung)
you are so adored
oh, you are so adored

[scar, spoken]
that’s more like it!

[hyenas]
but what i’d give for one more hit
of wildebeest kielbasa
or maybe h-rnbill on a spit

[zazu, spoken]
oh, how i miss mufasa!

[scar, spoken]
mufasa?! mufasa?! how dare you! i told you never to mention that name!

[zazu, spoken]
note taken. i shall never mention “m-m-m” again!

[scar, spoken]
even in death, his shadow looms over me. there he is! no! there he is! and there!

[zazu, spoken]
calm yourself, sire, or you’ll get another one of your splitting headaches!

[scar, spoken]
i am perfectly fine!

(sung)
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?
ah ha ha ha!

[zazu, spoken]
oh, pull yourself together, sire!

[scar, spoken]
oh, very well. zazu? zazu, zazu, zazu?

[zazu, spoken]
yes, sire?

[scar, spoken]
n0body loved me, there’s the rub. not even as a cub! what did my brother have that i don’t have?

[zazu, spoken]
do you want the short list or the long?

[scar, spoken]
whatever!

[zazu, spoken]
well, he had adoring subjects

[scar, spoken]
no

[zazu, spoken]
a loving family

[scar, spoken]
no

[zazu, spoken]
a devoted queen

[scar, spoken]
that’s it! i need a queen!

[zazu, spoken]
a what?

[scar, spoken]
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!

[nala, spoken]
scar…

[scar, spoken]
ah, nala… your timing couldn’t have been more perfect. my, how you’ve grown…

[nala, spoken]
scar, you have got to do something. we’re being forced to overhunt

[scar]
she’s got those -ssets feminine [nala, spoken]
you’re the king. control the hyenas
i have to make her mine
you’re destroying the pride lands
n0bility 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 –

(nala strikes scar.)

[scar]
oh, nala… you know how i loathe violence… one way or another, you will be mine

[nala]
never, scar. never!

[scar]
you belong to me
you all belong to me!
