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   Standin' 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
