From The Lion King
--------------------------------------------------

Reformatted (only morons put the chords below the lyrics!) and submitted by: debbin.

F
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
Bb
I've never seen a king of beasts
                      F
With quite so little hair
F
I'm gonna be the mane event
F
Like no king was before
Bb
I'm brushing up on looking down
                    C
I'm working on my roar

Bb                              C
Thus far a rather uninspiring thing


Bb                 C         F
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!


Bb
No one saying do this		Now when I said that--
C
No one saying be there		What I meant was--
Gm
No one saying stop that		What you don't realize--
F
No one saying see here		Now see here!
F           Bb         C
Free to run around all day	That's definitely out--
Bb            C      F
Free to do it all my way!


F
I think it's time that you and I
F
Arranged a heart-to-heart
Bb
Kings don't need advice
            F
From little hornbills for a start
F
If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out!
Bb
Out of service, out of Africa
  F
I wouldn't hang about
Bb                                   C
This child is getting wildly out of wing

      Bb         C          F
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Bb
Everybody look left
C
Everybody look right
Gm
Everywhere you look I'm--
F
Standing in the spotlight


Not yet!

Bb                                   C
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Bb                                   C
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
Bb                                   C
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Bb                C           F
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Bb                C           F
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
Bb                C
Oh, I just can't wait...
      F
To be king!
