Tim Rice - I Just Can't Wait to Be King (Broadway Version) lyrics

[YOUNG 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 [YOUNG SIMBA] 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 [ZAZU] Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king! [YOUNG SIMBA] No one saying do this [ZAZU] Now when I said that [YOUNG NALA] No one saying be there [ZAZU] What I meant was [YOUNG SIMBA] No one saying stop that [ZAZU] What you don't realize [YOUNG NALA/YOUNG SIMBA] No one saying see here [ZAZU] Now see here! [YOUNG NALA/YOUNG SIMBA] Free to run around all day [ZAZU] That's definitely out! [YOUNG SIMBA] Free to do it all my way [ZAZU] I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart-to-heart [YOUNG NALA] 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 [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king Everybody look left [YOUNG NALA] Everybody look right [YOUNG SIMBA] Everywhere you look I'm [YOUNG NALA/YOUNG SIMBA] Standing in the spotlight [ZAZU] Not yet! [YOUNG NALA/YOUNG SIMBA] 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 [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait to be king! [YOUNG NALA] Oh, he just can't wait to be king! [YOUNG SIMBA] Oh, I just can't wait [YOUNG NALA] Just can't wait [YOUNG NALA/YOUNG SIMBA] To be king!
