Way behind the waterhole a little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks are scheduled to be mine
I'm gonna be the ruler of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super awesome thing
Oh I just can't wait to be king
I'm gonna be a noble king unscrupulously fair
I only need a little time perhaps a 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 The fauna and the flora gonna swing
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
I'll be free to do it my way
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 my way
The time has come as some one said to talk of many things
This may be true but I would rather stick to talking kings
It's easy to be royal if you're already leonine
It isn't just my right even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh I just can't wait to be king
oh oh
Oh I just can't wait to be king
oh oh oh
