作詞：Elton John & Tim Rice 作曲：Elton John & Tim Rice 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 main event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down Working on my roar! Whoa, thus far a rather uninspiring thing Oh I just can't wait to be king You have a rather long way to go, young master, if you think No one saying, "Do this" Now when I said that No one saying "Be there" What I meant was No one saying, "Stop that" No one saying, "See here" Now, see here Free to run around all day Well that's definitely out Free to do it all my way I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart 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, Simba 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, 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!
