Simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Zazou: I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
All: 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
Zazou: Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
All: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Simba: No one saying do this Zazou: Now when I said that--
Nala: No one saying be there Zazou: What I meant was--
Simba & Nala: No one saying stop that Zazou: What you don't realize--
Simba & Nala: No one saying see here Zazou: Now see here!
Simba & Nala: Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
Simba & Nala: Free to do it all my way!
Zazou: 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
Zazou: 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
All: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
(DANCE BREAK)
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm--
Standing in the spotlight
Zazou: Not yet
All: 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!
All: Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
Simba: Oh, I just can't wait...
All: Just can't wait......To be king!
Zazou: I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
All: 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
Zazou: Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
All: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
