I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
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
(You've rather a long way to go)
(Young master if you think)

No one saying do this
(Now when I said that, I)
No one saying be there
(What I meant was)
No one saying stop that
(Look, what you don't realize)
No one saying see here
(Now see here)

Free to run around all day
(Well, that's definitely out)
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 horn bills 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
And 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

Not yet

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
