Lyrics:

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 mane 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!



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 all my way



I think it's time that you and I

Arrange 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

Everybody look right

Everywhere you look I'm

Standing in the spotlight



Let every creature go for broke and sing

Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing

It's gona be King Simba's finest fling



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
