[Verse 1]
Way behind the water hole, a little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks are scheduled to be mine
I'm gonna be the ruler of most everythin' around
From the grandest top of the mountains to the humble common ground
My reign will be a super awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be a noble king, unscrupulously fair
I only need a little time, perhaps a little hair
I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before
I'm brushin' up on lookin' down, I'm workin' on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[Chorus]
No one sayin', "Do this"
No one sayin', "Be there"
No one sayin', "Stop that"
No one sayin', "See here"
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
Hey

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
No one sayin', "Do this"
No one sayin', "Be there"
No one sayin', "Stop that"
No one sayin', "See here"
Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way

[Verse 3]
"The time has come," as someone said, "to talk of many things"
That may be true, but I would rather stick to talkin' kings
It's easy to be royal if you're already leonine
It isn't just my right, even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waitin' to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, oh
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
