As king, I'd be super strong
A really high-ranking animal

As king, you'd still be quite bald
You're missing the hair

The long mane is a wish
That I'll still fulfill
Until then, I'll hold my head high
And practice my roar

You're too small to impress

Oh, I just can't wait to be king

You still have a long way to go, little prince
If you think now

No way "do this" (when I said that)

No way "do that" (what do you know, oh)

No way "stop" (you're not jumping through the hoop)

No way "listen" (well, listen)

Always free at full speed

That's out of the question

Free and only my way

That's going too far, you smart aleck
Now finally listen

I don't need advice
From a beak-mouth Zazu

And if the royal house develops like this, I want out
Out of everything
Out of Africa
I'd rather emigrate
Your father would never forgive such a thing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Everyone looks to the left and
Everyone looks to the right and
Everyone looks at me and
Looks at my future

So what?

We all sing, animals big and small
And everything that creeps and crawls joins in
Simba will soon be king, he alone

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
