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!

No one saying do this Now when I said that--

No one saying be there What I meant was--

No one saying stop that What you don't realize--

No one saying see here Now see here!

Free to run around all day 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, he just can't wait to be king!

Oh, I just can't wait...

To be king!
