- Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Elton John
Way beyond the water hole
a little down the line
the jungle and the plains and peaks
are scheduled to be mine
Iīm 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 canīt wait to be king
Iīm gonna be a noble king
so enemies beware!
I only need a little time
perhaps a little hair
Iīm gonna be the mane event
like no king was before
Iīm brushing up on looking down
Iīm working on my roar
the fauna and the flora gonna swing
oh, I just canīt wait to be king
* Chorus *
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
Iīll 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
this may be true
but I would rather stick to talking kings
Itīs easy to be royal
If youīre already leonine
it isnīt just my right
even my left will be divine
the monarchy is waiting to go zing
oh, I just canīt wait to be king
Oh, I just canīt wait to be king
(repeat until fade)
