I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[Eah]
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
[Eah]
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
[Oo yuh hum]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Ooh, ahh...]
You've rather a long way to go, young master
[...Ahh...]
If you think-
[...Ahh]
No one saying do this
Now when I said that, I-
No one saying be there
What I meant was
No one saying stop that
Look, what you don't realize
No one saying see here
Now see here!
Free to run around all day
Well that's definitely out
[Eah]
Free to do it all my way!
[Ooh, ooh...]
Hom hom
Hom hom
Hom hom
Hom hom
[Repeat until 'out of wing', subdued]
I think it's time that you and I
[Eah ah]
Arranged a heart-to-heart
Kings don't need advice
[Eah ah]
From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed
[Eah ah]
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
[Ahh eah]
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of
wing
[Um um um um um]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Ooh, ooh, ooh]
[We we, we we, we]
Hoom
[Ahh]
Hoom
[Ahh]
Hoom
[Ahh]
Hoom
[Ahh]
Everybody look left
[Hoom]
[Ooh, ya ba]
Everybody look right
[Hoom]
[Ooh, ya ba]
Everywhere you look I'm--
[Hoom]
[Ooh, ya ba]
Standing spotlight!
Not yet!
Let every creature go for broke and sing
[Ooh oww]
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
[Ooh oww eah]
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
[Wow, yeah]
[Woo oww]
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!
