"Walking the Pridelands"
Filk by Lisa O'Donnell, (c) 1997
Based on "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn

Put on my lion suit
And I entered the plain
Touched down in the land of the Lion Kings
In the middle of the pouring rain
Minshasha and Mano, won't you look down over me
Yeah, I've got a first class view here
But I'm as blue as a fan can be

Then I'm walking the Pridelands
Walking through a dream that seems so real
Walking the Pridelands
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Taka
Walking quiet and so blue
Followed him up to the edge of Pride Rock
Then I watched him walk right through

Now the lionesses did not see him
They just hovered 'round the King
Yeah, there's a newborn cub so shy 
Simba and Nala's pride
And it just makes you wanna sing

Yeah, I'm walking the Pridelands
Walking through a dream that seems to real
Walking the Pridelands
But do I really feel the way I feel?

They've got zebra on the menu
They've got roars upon the air
And the hyenas are sure glad to see you
(In the Graveyard you ain't got a prayer)
But boy you've got a prayer in the Pridelands

Now Sarabi walks the borders
And wanders the dappled wood
And I went once down to see her
Rafiki asked me if I would--
Try to lift her spirits
So I sang with all my might
And she said--
"Tell me are you Aiheu's child?"
And I said, "Ma'am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my lion suit
And I entered the plain
Touched down in the land of the Lion Kings
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Lion Kings
In the middle of the pouring rain
