I Just Can't Wait to be King [Elton John Version] lyrics

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

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 my way

The time has come as someone said

To talk of many things

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, I just can't wait to be king
