Lyrics:

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 that the...

Simba:
No one saying 'stop that,'

Zazu:
But what you don't realize...

Simba and 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 horn-bills, 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.
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 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.

All:
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!
