I Just Can’t Wait to be King
[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 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!

[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 & NALA]
No one saying see here

[ZAZU]
Now see here!

[SIMBA]
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
[SIMBA]
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... aagh!
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!

[ANIMALS]
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

[ANIMALS & SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait... to be king!
[ZAZU, MUFFLED]
I beg your pardon, madam, but...
GET OFF! Simba? Nala!
