I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts 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 a rather 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 hornbills, 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 (uh, yah)

Everybody look right (uh, yah)

Everywhere you look I'm (uh, yah, yah)

Standing 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, yeah)

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
