I Just Can't Wait To Be King    (1994)

(Simba:) I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

(Zazu:) Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

(Simba:) 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

(Zazu:) Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

(Simba:) Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

(Zazu:) You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...

(Simba:) No one saying "do this!"
(Zazu:) Now when I said that, I --
(Nala:) No one saying "be there!"
(Zazu:) What I meant was...
(Simba:) No one saying "stop that!"
(Zazu:) Look, what you don't realize...
(Simba and Nala:) No one saying "see here!"
(Zazu:) Now see here!

(Nala:) Free to run around all day
(Zazu:) Well, that's definitely out...
(Simba:) 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
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

(Zazu:) 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 waaaaaait ... to be king!

Lyrics by Tim Rice.
Composed by Elton John.
Recorded by Jason Weaver, Laura Williams, and Rowan Atkinson.
