Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
From The Lion King soundtrack

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
