I Just Can't Wait To Be King

Originalmusik: Elton John
Originaltext: Tim Rice

[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 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
[Zazu:]
- Look, what you don't realize...
[Simba & Nala:]
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!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

[Zazu:]
- NOT YET!

[Kör:]
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 och kör:]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
