[ Featuring Jonathan Young ]
I'm gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware
Well I've never seen a king of beasts 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
You've a rather long way to go, young master, if you think
No one saying do this
Now, when I said that
No one saying be there
You know, what I meant was
No one saying stop that
What you don't realize
No one saying see here
Now see here!
Free to run around all day
Well, that's definitely out
Free to do it all my way
Well I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills 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 right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in spotlight
Not yet
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
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
