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 Now see here! Free to run around all day Free to do it all my way
I think it's time that you and I Arranged 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 gonna 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!
