From the day we arrive
On the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see
Than can ever be seen
More to do
Than can ever be done
There's far too much
To take in here
More to find
Than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small
On the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
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 brushin' up on lookin' down
I'm workin' on my roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
- No one sayin', "Do this" - Now, when I said that...
- No one saying, "Be there" - What I meant was...
- No one sayin', "Stop that" - You don't realise...
- No one sayin', "See here" - Now, see here!
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way
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
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody, look left
Everybody, look right
Everywhere you look, I'm
Standing in the spotlight
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait
To be king
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shiny new era is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared
No king, no king
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored
Of course, quid pro quo you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasise is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of deniaI
Is simply why I'll be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries

Hakuna matata
When he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savanna after every meal
I'm a sensitive souI
Though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
- And, oh, the shame - He was ashamed
- Thought of changing my name - Oh, what's in a name?
And I got downhearted
- How did you feel? - Every time that I...

Yeah
Nobody knows
The trouble I've seen
Nobody knows
My sorrow
It's a small world after all
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Deedle dee dee
There they are a-standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
A- wimoweh, a-wimoweh
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps to...
A- Pumbaa-bum-baa-weh
- I can see what's happening - What?
- And they don't have a clue - Who?
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feeI the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once
In perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past?
Impossible, she'd turn away from me
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?
Can you feeI the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once
In perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feeI the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through
The night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days
With us are history
In short, our pal
Is doomed

If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat
Eat my buddy Pumbaa here because he is a treat
Come on down and dine on this tasty swine
All you have to do is get in line
- Are you achin' - Yep, yep, yep.
- For some bacon? - Yep, yep, yep.
- He's a big pig - Yep, yep.
You could be a big pig, too!
