S: I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Z: Well, I've never seen a king or beast, with quite so little hair
S: I'm gonna be the main event, like no king was before
I'm [bad word] up or looking down, I'm working on my ROAR
Z: And thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
S: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
S:No one saying do this
Z:Now when I said that
N:No one saying be there
Z:What I meant was
S:No one saying stop that
Z:Now listen here
N:No one saying see here
Z:NOW SEE HEAR
S:We [bad word] around all day
Z:Well that's definately out
We'll do it all my way!
Z: I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
S: Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
Z: If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
S: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!
Z: Not yet!
Choir: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
S:Oh I just can't wait to be king!
S:Oh I just can't wait to be king!
S:Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
