Banzai
He called us slobbering!

Shenzi
Said we were mangy!

Banzai
Did I hear stupid?

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!

It's time to chow down
Chow down!

Banzai and Shenzi
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down

Shenzi
I'm chompin' at the bit, baby

Banzai
My stomach's on a growl, son

Banzai and Shenzi
Chow down!
Chow down!
You 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

Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed
Seeing you're already toasty brown
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!

Banzai
Your ribs are looking so 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!

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
What, Ed? What is it?
Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
No.
Well, there it goes!

I think we should begin the meal from scratch
So many juicy segments to detatch
Be good as gold for you're as good as carved

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty
We're starved!
