Simba:
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Zazu:
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!
Simba: Zazu:
No one saying do this Now when I said that--
Nala:
No one saying be there What I meant was--
Simba:
No one saying stop that What you don't realize--
Both:
No one saying see here Now see here!
Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
Free to do it all my way!
Zazu:
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart
Nala:
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
Nala:
Everybody look right
Both:
Everywhere you look I'm--
Standing in the spotlight
Zazu:
Not yet
Simba, Nala, Chorus:
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
