Lyrics
Simba:
- I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Zazu:
- I've never seen a king of beasts
- With quite so little hair
Simba:
- I'm gonna be the main 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!
Simba:
- No one saying do this
Zazu:
- Now when I said that--
Nala:
- No one saying be there
Zazu:
- What I meant was--
Simba:
- No one saying stop that
Zazu:
- What you don't realize--
Simba and Nala:
- No one saying see here!
Zazu:
- Now see here!
Simba:
- Free to run around all day
Zazu:
- That's definitely out--
Simba:
- 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!
Animals:
- 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 and Animals:
- Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
- Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
- Oh, I just can't wait...
- Just can't wait...
- To be king!
