Way beyond the water hole A little down the line The jungle and the plains and peaks Are scheduled to be mine
I'm gonna be the ruler Of most everything around From the grandest of the mountains To the humble common ground My reign will be a super-awesome thing Oh, I just can't wait to be king
I'm going to be a noble king And scrupulously fair I only need a little time Perhaps a 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 The fauna and the flora gonna swing Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Chorus) 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 I'll be free to do it my way
(piano solo)
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 my way
The time has come As someone said To talk of many things This may be true But I would rather stick to talking kings
It's easy to be royal If you're already leonine It isn't just my right Even my left will be divine The monarchy is waiting to go zing Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait to be king (Repeat until fade)
