I Just Can't Wait To Be King Lyrics

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Tim Rice

Available on the soundtrack The Lion King

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

Unscrupulously 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


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 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
