Everyone in the Pride Lands big or small
Looks forward to whenever you may call
A visit from Your Highness is an honor, yes, it's true
All your subjects want so much to be with you!
So embrace your position
The royal tradition
Delighting the Pride Lands with every little thing
In all of the wonderful duties of the king
You welcome birds from all around
Grant gazelles their grazing ground
Behoove the official turaco whistles
Guard the clearing of pointy thistles
Reside over aardvark wedding rites
Coach some mongooses on their bite
Listen to the zebras' silly pleas
And bless any animal when they sneeze!
Repeat In all of the wonderful duties of the king!
You set the limit on bushbuck hopping
Judged the hippos' belly-flopping
Considered crocodiles' complaints
And tenderly kiss baby porcupines oh-so-gently
Assign all the songbirds to their trees
Advise confused chimpanzees
Ceremonial naming of the bees
Consoling giraffes when they get fleas
Actually, that's not much fun
The fleas do tend to spread
But that said
So embrace your position
The royal tradition
Delighting the Pride Lands with every little thing
In all of the wonderful
In all of the wonderful
In all of the wonderful
Duties of the king!
In all of the wonderful
Duties of the king!
