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, I'm workin' on my roar [ZAZU] Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [ZAZU, spoken] You've 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, I— [YOUNG NALA] No one sayin', "Be there" [ZAZU, spoken] What I meant was— [YOUNG SIMBA] No one sayin', "Stop that" [ZAZU, spoken] Look, what you don't realize— [YOUNG SIMBA & YOUNG NALA] No one sayin', "See here" [ZAZU, spoken] Now see here! [YOUNG SIMBA] Free to run around all day [ZAZU, spoken] 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 [ZAZU, spoken] Ah! [ZAZU] This child is getting wildly out of wing [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king [YOUNG SIMBA] Everybody, look left Everybody, look right Everywhere you look, I'm Standin' 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 Oh, I just can't wait to be king Oh, I just can't wait To be king
