Lyrics

Zazu:
Well, I've never seen a king of beast with quite so little hair
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

You've rather a long way to go, young master
If you think...
Now when I said that, I...

Nala:
No one saying, 'Be there.'

Zazu:
What I meant was...
Look, what you don't realize...

Nala:
No one saying, 'See here.'

Zazu:
Now, see here!

I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart.
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

Not yet!

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
Just can't wait to be king
Just can't wait to be king
Just can't wait
To be king
