I Just Can’t Wait to Be King Lyrics
Simba:
I’m gonna be a mighty king
So enemies, beware
Zazu: (spoken)
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: (spoken)
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Simba:
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Zazu: (spoken)
You have rather a long way to go, young master
If you think…
Simba:
No one saying, “Do this”
Zazu: (spoken)
Now when I said that, I…
Nala:
No one saying, “Be there”
Zazu: (spoken)
What I meant was…
Simba:
No one saying, “Stop that”
Simba and Nala:
No one saying, “See here”
Zazu: (spoken)
Now see here!
Simba:
Free to run around all day
Zazu: (spoken)
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!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Simba!
Simba:
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
(instrumental)
Simba:
Everybody look left
Nala:
Everybody look right
Simba:
Everywhere you look I’m…
Simba and Nala:
Standing in the spotlight
Zazu: (spoken)
Not yet!
Nala and Chorus:
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
Simba and Chorus:
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Nala and Chorus:
Oh, he just can’t wait to be king
Simba, Nala, and Chorus:
Oh I just can’t wait… (Just can’t wait..)
To be king!
