I Just Can't Wait to Be King - The Academy Allstars

YOUNG SIMBA

I’m gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

Well I’ve never seen a king of beasts

With quite so 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

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

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

Now when I said that --

What I meant was --

What you don’t realize --

Now see here!

That’s definitely out!

Free to do it all my way

I think it’s time that you and I arranged a

Kings don’t need advice

From little hornbills for a start

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

Oh, I just can’t wait to be king

Everybody look left

Everybody look right

Everywhere you look I’m

Standing in the spotlight

Not yet!

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

Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!

Oh, he just can’t wait to be king!

Oh, I just can’t wait…

Just can’t wait…

To be king!
