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.

SIMBA
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!

ZAZU
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing.

SIMBA
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

ZAZU
You've rather a long to go, young Master!
If you think...

SIMBA
No one saying "do this,"

ZAZU
Now when I said that I...

SIMBA
no one saying "be there,"

ZAZU
What I meant was that the...

SIMBA
no one saying "stop that,"

ZAZU
But what you don't realize...

SIMBA
no one saying "see here."

ZAZU
Now see here!

SIMBA
Free to run around all day,

ZAZU
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!

Ev'rybody look left,
ev'rybody look right.
Ev'rywhere you look I'm
standing in the spotlight.

ZAZU
Not yet!

SIMBA & CHORUS
Let ev'ry creature go for broke and sing.
Let's hear it in the heard 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!
