The Lion King - I Just Can't Wait To Be King [Elton John Version]

All rights to the song and image belong to Disney.

This video's sole purpose is to help celebrate the wonderful music from The Lion King.

The song is from The Lion King Special Edition Soundtrack. (Which I highly recommend if you loved the movie!)

Enjoy!


Lyrics(As provided by the CD booklet):

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 gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
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
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, I just can't wait to be king

*Repeat until fade*

I'm thinking that this is most definitely the Version that Aaron Carter had done on Disney Mania because of the instruments in the background sound exactly like what Aaron Carter had done when he did his own remix of this song :P lol XD sorry just had to say it :P
