I Just Can't Wait To Be King
I Just Can't Wait to be King is a musical number from the first Lion King movie, sung by Simba, Nala and Zazu.
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!
Simba:
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:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait...
Just can't wait...
To be king!
