Simba ran down the slope of Pride Rock towards the grove of trees where the lionesses hung out. He found his mother and Sarafina, along with Nala. "Hi Mom. Can I please go play? Pleeeeeeese?" Sarabi looked at her son. "Maybe…after a bath." Sarabi picked up her struggling son and started to give him a bath. Nala snickered. "Moom. You're messing up my mane." Simba pouted. Nala snorted. "What mane?" Simba glared and got free from his mother, fixing his 'mane'. "Ok ok I'm clean. Can I go now?" "Where are you goin?" Nala asked. "None ya" Simba replied. Nala snorted. "Well? Where ARE you going?" Sarabi asked. "uh..just around the waterhole." he said innocently. "The waterhole!?! What's so great about the waterhole?!" Simba glared. "So can I go mom?" Sarabi nodded. "All right!!" He said bounding off. "As long as Nala and Zazu go with you!" She called after him. He stopped and sighed. "Not them.."
The cubs walked through the savanna, Zazu flying over them. "So where are we really going? It better not be anyplace dumb." Nala said. Zazu called down to them. "Step lively. The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave." Simba rolled his eyes and looked at Nala. "An Elephant Graveyard" he said softly. "What?!" she cried. "Shhh!" Simba warned. "So how are you gonna ditch the dodo?" she asked. Zazu looked down at them and landed on Simba's shoulder. "Just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled...what with your being betrothed and all." Simba pushed him off. "Be-what?" Zazu landed on the ground in a heap. He stood up and brushed himself off. "Betrothed. Intended. Affianced." Nala looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Meaning?" "One day, you two are going to be married!" Nala gasped. "What?!" Simba snorted. "No way!" "I'm not marrying him! He's like- ewww…" Nala said. "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you two turtle-doves have no choice. It's a tradition…" Zazu said. The cubs mimicked Zazu's last three words. "going back generations." "Well when I'm king that will be the first thing to go." Simba said. Nala nodded. "Not so long as I'm around." "In that case you're fired." Nala said. "Nice try. Only the King can do that." "Well I'm the future king" Simba said. "With an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed." Zazu remarked. "Not the way I see it." Simba said.
Simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
Zazu: Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
Zazu yanks one of Simba's 'mane' hairs. Nala interrupts Simba.
Nala: I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no queen was before
Simba glares and jumps up onto a tree branch with Nala. The climb it higher.
Simba and Nala: I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR
The two cubs roar at each other. Zazu rolls his eyes.
Zazu: Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Simba :Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
The two cubs run and hides in the grasses.
Zazu: You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...
Nala pops her head out.
Nala: No one saying do this
Goes back in and Simba pops out.
Zazu: Now when I said that, I -
Simba: No one saying be there
Zazu turns around to find Simba. Nala appears behind him.
Zazu: What I meant was...
Nala: No one saying stop that
Both cubs pop out.
Zazu: Look, what you don't realize...
Simba and Nala: No one saying see here!
Zazu: Now see here!
The cubs run away.
Nala: Free to run around all day
Zazu: Well, that's definitely out...
Simba: Free to do it all my way!
Zazu lands on Simba's shoulder. Nala watches.
Zazu: I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Simba: Kings don't need advice
Nala: From little hornbills for a start!
Nala flicks him off. He lands on a log in the river.
Zazu: If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
The log goes over the waterfall. The cubs run away again. Zazu flies into the sky.
Zazu: These kids are getting wildly out of wing
Simba and Nala: Oh, I just can't wait to be king! (Queen!)
Nala and Simba jump onto seprate rocks.
Nala: Everybody look left!
The animals move left stomping on Zazu.
Simba: Everybody look right!
The animals go right over Zazu again. The cubs jump up onto giraffe heads.
Nala: Everywhere you look I'm
Simba: Standing in the spotlight!
A spotlight appears on Simba and Nala as they slide down giraffe necks. Zazu gets up slowly.
Zazu: Not yet!
Animals: Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be a super awesome thing!
Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Nala: Oh, I just can't wait to be Queen!
Animals: Oh, they just can't waaaaaait ...
Simba: to be king!
The animals grab Zazu and throw him into the air as the cubs run off.
