Song Lyrics

I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware

Well, I've never seen a king or beast
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

Oh, I just can't wait to be king

You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think

No one saying, "do this"

Now when I said that, I

No one saying, "be there"

What I meant was

No one saying, "stop that"

Look, what you don't realize

No one saying, "see here"

Now see here!

Free to run around all day

Well, 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

Kings don't need advice
From little horn-bills for a start

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

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standin' 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 to be king
