Lyrics
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, I)
No one saying, "Be there" (what I meant was -)
No one saying, "Stop that" (look, 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
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 (uh, yah)
Everybody look right (uh, yah)
Everywhere you look I'm (uh, yah, yah)
Standing in the 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, yeah)
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
Writer(s): Elton John, Tim Rice
