I Just Can’t Wait to Be King

Lyrics

[YOUNG SIMBA] I'm gonna be a mighty king, so, enemies, beware! [ZAZU] Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair [YOUNG SIMBA] I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before I'm brushin' up on lookin' down, workin' on my roar [ZAZU] Haha! Thus far a rather uninspiring thing [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [ZAZU, spoken] You have a rather a long way to go, young master, if you think— [YOUNG SIMBA] No one sayin', "Do this" [ZAZU, spoken] Now when I said that— [YOUNG NALA] No one sayin', "Be there" [ZAZU, spoken] What I meant was— [YOUNG SIMBA] No one sayin', "Stop that" No one sayin', "See here" [ZAZU, spoken] Now see here! [YOUNG SIMBA] Free to run around all day [ZAZU] Well, that's definitely out [YOUNG SIMBA] Free to do it all my way [ZAZU] I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart [YOUNG 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 [ZAZU, spoken] Simba! [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [Instrumental Break] [YOUNG SIMBA] Everybody, look left [YOUNG NALA] Everybody, look right [YOUNG SIMBA] Everywhere you look, I'm [YOUNG SIMBA & YOUNG NALA] Standing in the spotlight [ZAZU, spoken] 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 [YOUNG SIMBA, YOUNG SIMBA & ANIMALS] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [YOUNG NALA, YOUNG NALA& ANIMALS] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [YOUNG SIMBA, YOUNG SIMBA & ANIMALS] Oh, I just can't wait (He just can't wait) To be king
