Template:Song Infobox "I Just Can't Wait to be King" is a song from The Lion King. It is sung by Simba, Nala, and Zazu.
Lyrics
| 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 brushin' up on lookin' down |
| I'm workin' 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 sayin' do this! |
| Zazu: |
| Now when I said that... |
| Nala: |
| No one sayin' be there! |
| Zazu: |
| What I meant was... |
| Simba: |
| No one sayin' stop that! |
| Zazu: |
| What you don't realize... |
| Simba and Nala: |
| No one sayin' 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... |
| Standin' in the spotlight! |
| Zazu: |
| Not yet! |
| Choir: |
| 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: |
| 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! |
Trivia
- During this sequence in the movie, the background changes to brighter colors and more geometric shapes to reflect Simba's naive perspective of the world.[1]
- In early versions of the song, the crocodiles are gray. This occurs in the ABC premiere of The Lion King, the Disney Sing-Along Songs version, and the 1995 VHS release. However, the animation of the crocodiles were completely re-done in the 2002 IMAX re-release and later home video releases.[2][3]
- In the stage musical version of the song, Nala gets a few more singing parts.
- The way the Lion Guard dresses up as male lions in "The Ukumbusho Tradition" mirrors the way Simba dons a mane of red leaves during the song.
