I Just Can't Wait to be King (Elton John)

Lyrics
Way beyond the waterhole and a little down the line, the jungle and the plains and peaks are scheduled to be mine.

I'm gonna be the ruler of mostly everything around from the grandest of the mountains to the humble common ground. My reign would be a super awesome thing. Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

I'm going to be a noble king and scrupulously fair. I only need a little time, perhaps a 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. The fauna and the flora are gonna swing. Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

There's no one saying, "Do this." There's no one saying, "Be there." There's no one saying, "Stop that." There's no one saying, "See here." I'm free to run around all day. I'll be free to do it on my way.

The time has come, as someone said to talk to many things. This may be true. But I would rather stick to talking kings.

It's as easy to be royal if you're already leonine. It isn't just my right, even my left will be divine. Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

Oh, I just can't wait to be king. (Repeat)
