The Lion King - I Just Cant Wait To Be King

É uma peça musical animada, apresentando sonoridades africanas, refletindo o cenário do filme. A faixa se tornou icônica, representando o otimismo e a energia juvenil, inserida em um contexto de crescimento e auto-descoberta.

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 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

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 aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
BREAK SHIFT TO CAPO 5th FRET
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

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
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't waaaaaait to be king!
