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 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 way to go young master if you think
SIMBA：
No one saying do this
ZAZU：
Now when I said that I
NALA：
No one saying be there
ZAZU：
What I meant was
SIMBA：
No one saying stop that
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 aagh
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 standing in the spotlight
ZAZU：
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
ANIMALS/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
