[ simba ] i’m gonna be a mighty king , so enemies beware!
C G
[ zazu ] well , i’ve never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair .

[ simba ] i’m gonna be the main event , like no king was before!

C G Am C D
free to run around all day , [ well , that’s definitley out . ]
C D D7 G
free to do it it all my way!

[ simba ] kings don’t need advice from little hornbills for a start .

[ zazu ] if this is where the monarchy is headed , count me out!
C G
out of service , out of africa . i wouldn’t hang about .

this child is getting wildly out of wing!
C D G
[ simba ] oh i just can’t wait to be king!
