[Simba:]
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
[Zazu:]
I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[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:]
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
[Simba:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Simba:]
No one saying do this
[Zazu:]
Now when I said that –
[Nala:]
No one saying be there
[Zazu:]
What I meant was –
[Simba:]
No one saying stop that
[Zazu:]
What you don't realize –
[Simba and Nala:]
No one saying see here
[Zazu:]
Now see here!
[Simba and Nala:]
Free to run around all day
[Zazu:]
That's definitely out –
[Simba and Nala:]
Free to do it all my way!
[Zazu:]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart
[Nala:]
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[Zazu:]
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
[Simba:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
[Nala:]
Everybody look right
[Both:]
Everywhere you look I'm –
Standing in the spotlight
[Zazu:]
Not yet
[Simba, Nala 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
[Both:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Nala:]
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
[Both:]
Oh, I just can't wait…
[Nala:]
Just can't wait
[Both:]
To be king!
