Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice

from "Disney Mania" album


Come on

Way beyond 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 going to be a noble king

So enemies beware

I only need a little time

Perhaps a little hair


I'm gonna be the mane event

Like no king 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


(Chorus)

Nobody saying do this

Nobody saying be there

Nobody saying stop that

Nobody saying see here

Free to run around all day

I'll be free to do it my way

I wanna be king


Nobody saying do this

Nobody saying be there

Nobody saying stop that

Nobody saying see here

Free to run around all day yeah

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

Oh oh..

Oh, I just can't wait to be king


I wanna be king

Come on
