Simba:
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware

Zazu (spoken):
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

Simba:
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!

Zazu (spoken):
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Simba:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Zazu (spoken):
You've rather a long way to go,
Young master, if you think--

Simba:
No one saying, "Do this"

Zazu (spoken):
Now when I said that, I--

Nala:
No one saying, "Be there"

Zazu (spoken):
What I meant was--

Simba:
No one saying, "Stop that!"

Zazu (spoken):
Look, what you don't realize--

Simba and Nala:
No one saying, "See here!"

Zazu (spoken):
Now see here!

Simba:
Free to run around all day

Zazu (spoken):
Well, that's definitely out

Simba:
Free to do it all my way

Zazu:
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

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

Simba:
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standin' in the spotlight!

Zazu (spoken):
Not yet!

Chorus:
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

Simba:
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
