I Just Can't Wait to be King
Lyrics from The Lion King
Composed by Elton John and Tim Rice
Performed by Jason Weaver, Laura Williams and Rowan Atkinson
[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!
[Simba:] No one saying do this
[Nala:] No one saying be there
[Simba:] No one saying stop that!
[Nala:] No one saying see here
[Simba:] Free to run around all day
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:] 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
[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
