I Just Can't Wait to be King

Lyrics
I'm gonna be a mighty king. So enemies beware. (Well, 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 and looking down. I'm working on my roar. (Thus far, a rather inspiring thing.)

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

No one saying, "Do this."

No one saying, "Be there."

No one saying, "Stop that."

No one saying, "See here."

Free to run around all day. Free to do it all my way.

(Music playing)

I think it's timed that you and I arranged a heart to heart. Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start. If there is where the monarchy is headed. Count me out. Out of service. Out of Africa. I wouldn't hang about. (Aah!)

This child is getting wildly out of wing...

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

(Music playing)

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, I just can't wait to be king. Oh, I just can't wait... (Just can't wait...) ... to be king! (Music stops)
