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! Repeat Chorus Twice With Janja saying: Tonight we strike! Nobody's safe!
Janja and Hyenas:
The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite Tonight we strike! Tonight we strike!
