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 gonna be a noble king
 
 And scrupulously fair
 
 I only need a little time
 
 Perhaps a little hair
 
 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
 
 
 The fauna and the flora gonna swing
 
 Oh, I just can't wait to be king
 
 
 No one saying do this
 
 No one saying be there
 
 No one saying stop that
 
 No one saying see here
 
 Free to run around all day
 
 I'll be free to do it my way (eheeee)
 
 
 No one saying do this
 
 No one saying be there
 
 No one saying stop that
 
 No one saying see here
 
 Free to run around all day
 
 Free to do it my way (eheeee)
 
 
 The time has come as someone said
 
 To talk of many things
 
 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
 
 Oh, I just can't wait to be king (oh ooh, oh ooh)
 
 Oh, I just can't wait to be king (oh ooh, oh ooh)
 
 (Oh ooh, oh ooh) (oh ooh, oh ooh)
