00:30 - This is Africa, where the wild animals romp and play.

00:35 This is a lion.

00:37 Listen to him roar.

00:40 When he roars, all the other animals are afraid.

00:46 Why are they afraid when he roars?

00:52 Because he is the king of beasts and feared by all.

00:55 But the king is tired of scaring

00:58 the same old animals every day.

01:00 This is a safari.

01:06 A safari is people who come to study the wild animals

01:12 and to catch the lion.

01:14 To take him far across the sea.

01:26 This is the big city.

01:28 My, my, what a lot of things to scare here.

01:34 How these canyons will echo with his mighty roar.

01:37 The admirers of ferocious lions are out to welcome him.

01:42 They won't be disappointed.

01:43 The king of the jungle is loose in the city.

01:55 Maybe they did not hear the king.

01:57 The lion is cross.

02:03 He roars at the city.

02:05 The city roars back.

02:11 This is a policeman.

02:15 - Hey you, come on, get back there.

02:18 - He scolds jaywalkers and makes them wait for the light.

02:22 (dramatic music)

02:24 These are people.

02:28 They live in the city.

02:29 They are busy.

02:30 They are too busy to be courteous to the king.

02:36 Has the lion lost his kingly air?

02:50 - No.

02:51 - Well, I see by the papers,

02:53 the WDP turned down the mysterious committee on the ALW.

02:58 - Over 560 millions last year alone.

03:02 - How do they expect us to go?

03:04 I mean, what is this?

03:05 (lion growling)

03:08 Well, if you don't like it here,

03:10 why don't you go back where you come from?

03:12 (dramatic music)

03:17 (lion grunting)

03:20 - The city was not impressed with his highness.

03:26 No one paid him the slightest attention.

03:29 - Hiya, pal.

03:33 Say, you look like a smart guy.

03:35 One who knows something good when he sees same.

03:37 Now I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

03:39 (whispering)

03:41 (dramatic music)

03:42 - But the lion does not need a bridge.

03:44 He needs a friend.

03:46 (dramatic music)

03:49 - Boo!

03:55 Doggone kids.

03:58 (dramatic music)

04:35 - Now the lion is hungry.

04:41 (dramatic music)

04:45 (snoring)

04:47 - Wanna make something of it, buddy?

04:56 (sneezing)

04:58 Hiya, buddy.

05:01 Come on.

05:03 Let's dance.

05:36 No money down, 30 months to pay.

05:38 - Why, say, man, you're a real fashion plate.

05:41 Yes, sir, you'll be a real social lion.

05:45 - And so the king in his pretty blue suit

05:47 stepped out to take his place in society.

05:49 But the lion does not fool the people.

05:52 They are quick to spot a phony.

05:54 - Hey, look at the funny yellow shoes.

05:56 - Look at his bushy haircut.

05:57 - Look at that yellow tail he's wagging.

05:59 - A lion!

06:00 - A lion!

06:01 (lion roaring)

06:04 (upbeat music)

06:08 - This is the riot squad.

06:10 They have come to restore order.

06:11 - Mama!

06:12 - This is a lion.

06:19 Listen to him roar.

06:23 (lion roaring)

06:26 This is a zoo, where people come on Sunday to be frightened,

06:32 which proves there's a time and place for everything,

06:36 even a roar, especially if it's in the zoo.
