Banzai: He called us slobbering!
Shenzi: Said we were mangy!
Banzai: Did I hear stupid?
Ed: Huh?
Banzai and Shenzi: Tell us again, gee!
Banzai: It's so incredible...
Shenzi: That you're so rude
Banzai: When you're so edible
Banzai and Shenzi: When you are food!
Banzai: It's time to chow down
Banzai and Shenzi: Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
Shenzi: I'm chompin' at the bit, baby!
Banzai: My stomach's on the growl, son!
Banzai and Shenzi: Chow down! Chow down!
Banzai and Shenzi: You've both been invited on a date Two courses handed to us on a plate We'll have you raw, won't be long to wait Seeing you're already toasty brown!
Banzai and Shenzi: Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
Banzai: Your ribs are looking soooo tasty
Shenzi: Such chewy little chops, chums
Banzai and Shenzi: Eat up!
Shenzi: Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
Banzai and Shenzi: And having parents eaten makes us mad We're gonna settle up the score a tad We've never had a snack of such renown! Chow down! Chow down!
Ed: *Maniacal Laughter*
Shenzi: What, Ed? What is it?
Banzai: Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
Shenzi: No!
Banzai: Well, there it goes!
Banzai and Shenzi: I think we should begin the meal from scratch So many juicy segments to detach Be good as gold for you're as good as carved
Shenzi: Here, kitty, kitty...
All: We're starved!
