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

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

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

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing

I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before!

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

No one saying do this Now when I said that--
No one saying be there What I meant was--
No one saying stop that What you don't realize--
No one saying see here Now see here!
Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart

No one saying stop that!

Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

Everywhere you look I'm....

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

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Standing spotlight!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm--
Standing in the spotlight

Not yet

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

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!
