[YOUNG 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

[YOUNG 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

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

[YOUNG SIMBA]
No one saying do this
[ZAZU]
Now when I said that

[YOUNG NALA]
No one saying be there

[ZAZU]
What I meant was

[YOUNG SIMBA]
No one saying stop that

[ZAZU]
What you don't realize

[YOUNG NALA & YOUNG SIMBA]
No one saying see here

[ZAZU]
Now see here!

[YOUNG NALA & YOUNG SIMBA]
Free to run around all day

[ZAZU]
That's definitely out!
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Free to do it all my way

[ZAZU]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart

[YOUNG 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

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Everybody look left

[YOUNG NALA]
Everybody look right
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Everywhere you look I'm

[YOUNG NALA & YOUNG SIMBA]
Standing in the spotlight

[ZAZU]
Not yet!

[YOUNG NALA & YOUNG SIMBA & 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

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

[YOUNG NALA]
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait

[YOUNG NALA]
Just can't wait

[YOUNG NALA & YOUNG SIMBA]
To be king!
