I Just Can't Wait to Be King Songtext
von Caleb Hyles

Come on

I′m gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well I've never seen nor king nor beast
With quite so little hair

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

Thusfar, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can′t wait to be king
(You′ve rather a long way to go, master, if you think--)


No one saying, "do this"
(Now when I said that)
No one saying, "be there"
(No, wh-what I meant was)
No one saying, "stop that"
(But what you don't realize)
No one saying, "see here"
(Now see here!)
Free to run around all day
(Well, that′s definitely out)
Free to do it all my way

I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don′t need advice
From little hornbills for a start

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
Oh, I just can′t wait to be king

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standin' in the spotlight
(Not yet!)

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


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
