[Simba:]
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
[Zazu:]
Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[Simba:]
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
[Zazu:]
(Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing)
[Simba:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
( [Zazu:]
You've quite a way to go, young master, if you think - )
[Simba:]
No one saying do this
[Zazu:]
(Now, when I said, that -)
[Simba:]
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
[Zazu:]
(Now, see here!)
[Simba:]
Free to run around all day
[Zazu:]
(Oh, well that's definitely out.)
Free to do it all my way
[Zazu:]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
[Simba:]
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[Zazu:]
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out
of wing
[Simba:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight
[Zazu:]
(Not yet.)
[Chorus:]
Let every creature go for broke and
sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on
the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest
fling
[Simba:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
