I Just Can’t Wait to Be King Lyrics by The Lion King
[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
[SIMBA]
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!
[ZAZU]
Thus far, a rather… uninspiring thing
[SIMBA]
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
[ZAZU]
You’ve rather a long way to go, young master, if you think…
[SIMBA]
No one saying do this
[ZAZU]
Now when I said that, I –
[NALA]
No one saying be there
[ZAZU]
What I meant was…
[SIMBA]
No one saying stop that
[ZAZU]
Look, what you don’t realize…
[SIMBA & NALA]
No one saying see here
[ZAZU]
Now see here!
[SIMBA]
Free to run around all day
[ZAZU]
Well, that’s definitely out
[SIMBA]
Free to do it all my way!
[ZAZU]
I think it’s time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
[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… aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
[SIMBA]
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight!
[ZAZU]
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
[ANIMALS & SIMBA]
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!
