I Just Can't Wait To Be King (The Lion King soundtrack)
Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice Performed by Geoff Hoyle, Scott Irby-Ranniar, and Kajuana Shuford
Simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Zazu: I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair
Simba: 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
Zazu: Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Simba: No one saying do this
Zazu: Now when I said that--
Nala: No one saying be there
Zazu: What I meant was--
Simba: No one saying stop that
Zazu: What you don't realize--
Both: No one saying see here Now see here! Free to run around all day That's definitely out-- Free to do it all my way!
Zazu: I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart-to-heart
Nala: 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 This child is getting wildly out of wing
Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Everybody look left
Nala: Everybody look right
Both: Everywhere you look I'm--
Standing in the spotlight
Zazu: Not yet
Simba, Nala, Chorus: 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
