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 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!

 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!
