Ooh hey!
Oh
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well, I've never seen a king or beast
With quite so little hair
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
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king, yeah
No one saying, do this
No one saying, be there
No one saying, stop that
No one saying, see here
I'm free to run around all day (free to run around)
Free to do it all my way
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
But kings don't need advice
From little horn-bills for a start
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
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left (everybody look left)
Everybody look right (everybody look right)
Everywhere you look I'm (everywhere you look I'm)
Standin' in the spotlight (standin' in the spotlight)
Let every creature go for broke and sing
(Every creature go)
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
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
