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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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!
