I Just Can’t Wait to Be King JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph & John Oliver

[Verse 1: JD McCrary & John Oliver]
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
Working on my roar!
Whoa, thus far a rather uninspiring thing
Oh I just can't wait to be king
You have a rather long way to go, young master, if you think—

[Verse 2: JD McCrary, John Oliver & Shahadi Wright Joseph]
No one saying, "Do this"
Now when I said that—
No one saying "Be there"
What I meant was—
No one saying, "Stop that"
No one saying, "See here"
Now, see here
Free to run around all day
Well that's definitely out
Free to do it all my way

[Verse 3: John Oliver, Shahadi Wright Joseph & JD McCrary]
I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out
Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing, Simba
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
