[spoken] Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[YOUNG SIMBA]
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
[ZAZU]
[spoken] Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
No one saying do this
[YOUNG NALA]
No one saying be there
[YOUNG SIMBA]
No one saying stop that
[YOUNG NALA AND YOUNG SIMBA]
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
[ZAZU]
[spoken] Now when I said that --
What I meant was --
What you don't realize --
Now see here!
That's definitely out!
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Free to do it all my way
[ZAZU]
[spoken] I think it's time that you and I arranged a
[YOUNG NALA]
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[ZAZU]
[spoken] 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 [sung] wing
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
[YOUNG NALA]
Everybody look right
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Everywhere you look I'm

Standing in the spotlight
[ZAZU]
[spoken] Not yet!
[YOUNG NALA, YOUNG SIMBA AND 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
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[YOUNG NALA]
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait...
