I just can't wait to be king

YOUNG SIMBA

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

[ZAZU]

[spoken] Well I've never seen a king of beasts

With quite so little hair

[YOUNG 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]

[spoken] Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

No one saying do this

[YOUNG NALA]

No one saying be there

[YOUNG SIMBA]

No one saying stop that

[YOUNG NALA AND YOUNG SIMBA]

No one saying see here

Free to run around all day

[ZAZU]

[spoken] Now when I said that --

What I meant was --

What you don't realize --

Now see here!

That's definitely out!

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Free to do it all my way

[ZAZU]

[spoken] I think it's time that you and I arranged a

[YOUNG NALA]

Kings don't need advice

From little hornbills for a start

[ZAZU]

[spoken] 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 [sung] wing

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Everybody look left

[YOUNG NALA]

Everybody look right

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Everywhere you look I'm

[YOUNG NALA AND YOUNG SIMBA]

Standing in the spotlight

[ZAZU]

[spoken] Not yet!

[YOUNG NALA, YOUNG SIMBA AND 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

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

[YOUNG NALA]

Oh, he just can't wait to be king!

[YOUNG SIMBA]

Oh, I just can't wait...

[YOUNG NALA]

Just can't wait...

[YOUNG SIMBA AND YOUNG NALA]

To be king!
