Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
[Verse 2]
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
[Verse 5]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
[Verse 6]
You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think
[Verse 7]
No one saying do this
[Verse 8]
Now when I said that, I
[Verse 9]
No one saying be there
[Verse 10]
What I meant was
[Verse 11]
No one saying stop that
[Verse 12]
Look, what you don't realize
[Verse 13]
No one saying see here
[Verse 14]
Now see here
[Verse 15]
Free to run around all day
[Verse 16]
Well, that's definitely out
[Verse 17]
Free to do it all my way
[Verse 18]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
[Verse 19]
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[Verse 20]
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
[Verse 21]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
[Verse 22]
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight
[Verse 23]
Not yet
[Verse 24]
(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)
[Verse 25]
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
Written by: Elton John, Tim Rice
