    I Just Can’t Wait to Be King – Lion King 2019

    -

    Writers: Elton John; lyrics by Tim Rice

    Lyrics: 

    [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:] Ho, ho, thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

    [Simba:] Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!

    [Zazu:] You have rather a long way to go, young master. If you think –

    [Simba:] No one saying “do this”

    [Zazu:] Now when I said that –

    [Nala:] No one saying “be there”

    [Zazu:] What I meant was –

    [Simba:] No one saying “stop that”!

    [Nala:] No one saying “see here”

    [Zazu:] Now, see here!

    [Simba:] Free to run around all day

    [Zazu:] 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

    [Nala:] 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!

    [Simba:] Everybody look left

    [Nala:] Everybody look right

    [Simba:] Everywhere you look I’m

    [Both:] Standing in the spotlight

    [Zazu:] Not yet!

    [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:] Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!

    [Nala and chorus:] Oh, he just can’t wait to be king!

    [Simba:] Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
