[YOUNG SIMBA]
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so, enemies, beware!

[ZAZU]
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair

[YOUNG SIMBA]
I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before
I'm brushin' up on lookin' down, workin' on my roar

[ZAZU]
Haha! Thus far a rather uninspiring thing

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[ZAZU, spoken]
You have a rather a long way to go, young master, if you think—

[YOUNG SIMBA]
No one sayin', "Do this"

[ZAZU, spoken]
Now when I said that—

[YOUNG NALA]
No one sayin', "Be there"
[ZAZU, spoken]
What I meant was—

[YOUNG SIMBA]
No one sayin', "Stop that"
No one sayin', "See here"

[ZAZU, spoken]
Now see here!

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Free to run around all day

[ZAZU]
Well, that's definitely out

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Free to do it all my way

[ZAZU]
I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start

[ZAZU]
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
[ZAZU, spoken]
Simba!

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[Instrumental Break]

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Everybody, look left

[YOUNG NALA]
Everybody, look right

[YOUNG SIMBA]
Everywhere you look, I'm

[YOUNG SIMBA & YOUNG NALA]
Standing in the spotlight

[ZAZU, spoken]
Not yet!

[ANIMALS]
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, YOUNG SIMBA & ANIMALS]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[YOUNG NALA, YOUNG NALA& ANIMALS]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[YOUNG SIMBA, YOUNG SIMBA & ANIMALS]
Oh, I just can't wait (He just can't wait)
To be king
