Chow Down (South African Cast Version) Lyrics
[BANZAI, spoken]
It's time to chow down
[BANZAI, SHENZI, spoken]
Chow down!
(sung)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
[SHENZI]
Ahh, I'm chompin' at the bit, baby
[BANZAI]
My stomach's on the growl, son
[BANZAI, SHENZI]
Chow down!
[ED]
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
[BANZAI, SHENZI]
Chow down!
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
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
[BANZAI]
Your ribs are looking so tasty
[SHENZI]
Such chewy little chops, chums
[BANZAI, SHENZI]
Eat up!
[SHENZI]
Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
[BANZAI, 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!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
[ED]
*babbles excitedly*
[SHENZI, spoken]
What, Ed? What does it mean?

[BANZAI, spoken]
Hey, did you order this dinner to go?
[SHENZI, spoken]
Nee...
[BANZAI, spoken]
Well, there it goes!
[NALA, spoken]
Simba!
[SIMBA, spoken]
Nala!
(The HYENAS chase SIMBA and NALA around the graveyard)
[BANZAI, 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, spoken]
Here, kitty, kitty!
[BANZAI, spoken]
We're starved!
(spoken)
[NALA]
*screams* Simba!
[BANZAI]
Yum yum yum!
[SIMBA]
Yeu-ah!
[SHENZI]
That was it? Come on, do it again! Ha ha ha!
[MUFASA}
Roar! Roar!
(MUFASA enters and fights the HYENAS)
[MUFASA]
Silence! If you ever go near my son again...
[SHENZI]
Son? Oh, son! Heh. It was your boy-jie? Haha! Ah, we didn't know this. Did you know that?
[BANZAI]
Who, me? Nee! Did you?
[SHENZI]
Nee! Of course not!
[BANZAI, SHENZI]
Ed?
[ED]
Uh, ah ha! Ah ha!
