I Just Can't Wait to Be King (The Lion King)

Summary
The song is performed near the beginning of the film by a young Simba and Nala to distract Zazu, as well as to enunciate Simba's desires to become king.

It also appears in Disneytoon's 2004 direct-to-video midquel The Lion King 1½. Timon and Pumbaa are disturbed by some noise from outside of their home, which is actually Simba, Nala, and the animals singing this musical number. Timon becomes angry and hits the leg of an elephant supporting the tower of animals. The elephant jumps in surprise, causing the tower to collapse and Pumbaa then realizes what Timon has done and pulls him out of the way. Timon and Pumbaa's home is ruined by this event. Oddly, this film establishes that the events of the song happened, when the original film implied that the events of that sequence didn't in the aftermath of the song.

Lyrics
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, I'm working on my roar

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing

Oh, I just cant wait to be king

You've rather a long way to go young master, if you think

No one saying do this

Now when I said that

No one saying be there

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 its 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

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 goes 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 cant wait to be king

Oh, I just cant wait to be king

Oh, I just cant wait to be king
