Way behind the water hole
A little down the line (down the line)
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine (be mine)
Gonna be the ruler of everything around (around)
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground (the 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
Scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
I'm brushin' 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 sayin' "Do this"
No one sayin' "Be there"
No one sayin' "Stop that"
No one sayin' "See here"
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
No one sayin' "Do this"
No one sayin' "Be there"
No one sayin' "Stop that"
No one sayin' "See here"
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
The time has come as someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
It's easy to be royal if you're mighty 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
Just can't wait, wait to be king
Just can't wait
Just can't wait, wait to be king
Just can't wait
Just can't wait, wait to be king
Just can't wait
