My Lullaby



"My Lullaby" is a villain song sung by Zira, Nuka, and Vitani in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. The song starts off with Zira singing a lullaby to Kovu. After Kovu falls asleep, she expresses her feelings from being exiled in the Pride Lands. The song's ending is similar to Be Prepared with Zira towering over the Outlanders mirroring Scar's towering over the hyenas at the end.

Lyrics
Zira: : Sleep, my little Kovu Let your dreams take wing One day when you're big and strong You will be a king

I've been exiled, persecuted Left alone with no defense When I think of what that brute did I get a little tense But I dream a dream so pretty That I don't feel so depressed 'Cause it soothes my inner kitty And it helps me get some rest

The sound of Simba's dying gasp His daughter squealing in my grasp His lionesses' mournful cry That's my lullaby

Now the past I've tried forgetting And my foes I could forgive Trouble is, I knows it's petty But I hate to let them live

Nuka: So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree

Zira: Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls A counterpoint of painful howls A symphony of death, oh my! That's my lullaby

Scar is gone... but Zira's still around To love this little lad Till he learns to be a killer With a lust for being bad!

Nuka: Sleep, ya little termite! Uh-- I mean, precious little thing!

Vitani: One day when you're big and strong

Zira You will be a king!

The pounding of the drums of war The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar

Nuka: The joy of vengeance

Vitani: Testify!

Zira: : I can hear the cheering

Nuka and Vitani: Kovu! What a guy!

Zira: Payback time is nearing And then our flag will fly Against a blood-red sky

That's my lullaby!
