Janja:
When you live in the Outlands
It's better to make your own rules
Ask anyone outside the Pride Lands
The Circle of Life is for fools!
Hyenas:
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Janja:
We go where we want when we want to
And we eat, just we eat as we please!
That Kion can't give us a curfew
Mzingo:
Or tell us to stay in the trees!
Hyenas:
No!
Chorus:
Tonight we strike!
Tonight we strike!
No one's safe, so the time is right
The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike!
Tonight we strike!
Hyenas:
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Janja:
So before this new Guard is ready
To defend the Pride Lands from harm
We'll make them all feel unsteady
We'll give them cause for alarm!
Hyenas:
Yeah!
Repeat Chorus
Janja: (spoken)
All right, fellas, bring it in.
Here's the plan.
Janja:
While the animals are in their slumber
We'll be creeping beneath
And just like a roaring thunder
We'll wake them up with our teeth!
Hyenas:
Repeat Chorus Twice
All:
The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike!
Tonight we strike!
