Lyrics
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 main event |
Like no king was before |
I'm brushin' up on lookin' down |
I'm workin' 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 way to go, young master |
If you think... |
Simba: |
No one sayin' do this! |
Zazu: |
Now when I said that... |
Nala: |
No one sayin' be there! |
Zazu: |
What I meant was... |
Simba: |
No one sayin' stop that! |
Zazu: |
What you don't realize... |
Simba and Nala: |
No one sayin' 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! |
Everybody look left! |
Everybody look right! |
Everywhere you look I'm... |
Standin' in the spotlight! |
Zazu: |
Not yet! |
Choir: |
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! |
Trivia
- During this sequence in the movie, the background changes to brighter colors and more geometric shapes to reflect Simba's naive perspective of the world.[1]
- In early versions of the song, the crocodiles are gray. This occurs in the ABC premiere of The Lion King, the Disney Sing-Along Songs version, and the 1995 VHS release. However, the crocodiles were redesigned in the IMAX re-release.[2][3]
