i just can't wait to be king

way behind the water hole

a little down the line

the jungle and the plains and peaks

are scheduled to be mine

i'm gonna be the ruler

of most everything around

from the grandest of the mountains

to the humble common ground

my reign will be a super-awesome thing

oh

i just can't wait to be king

i'm going to be a noble king

so enemies beware

i only need a little time

perhaps a little hair

i'm gonna be the main event

like no king before

i'm brushing up on looking down

i'm working on my roar

the fauna and the flora gonna swing

oh

i just can't wait to be king

nobody saying do this

nobody saying be there

nobody saying stop that

nobody saying see here

free to run around all day

i'll be free to do it my way

i wanna be king

nobody saying do this

nobody saying be there

nobody saying stop that

nobody saying see here

free to run around all day

yeah

i'll be free to do it my way

the time has come

as someone said

to talk of many things

this may be true

but i would rather stick to talking kings

it's easy to be royal

if you're already leonine

it isn't just my right

even my left will be divine

the monarchy is waiting to go zing

yeah

oh

i just can't wait to be king

oh. oh. oh i just can't wait to be king

oh

yeah. oh oh oh

king of the world

yeah

oh. oh. oh i just can't wait to be king

i wanna be king

come on
