I love the Lion King and I just had to see Zuko and Zhao sing a duet! Zuko is about eight here and is realizing how much fun he will have once he has the power. That is why he is in bold. Yes, Zhao gets stepped on by a kimodo rhino in the end, if that makes you feel better. This is for Isaia!
Can't Wait to be Lord!
I'm gonna be a mighty lord, the leader of the court!
I've never seen a Lord of fire that was quite so short!
I'm gonna be the greatest Lord, Like none that came before
You'll soon look up to me, while kneeling on the floor
This child's prattle leaves me somewhat bored
Oh, I just can't wait to be Lord!
No one will say "do this"
Over my dead body--
Cause I'll make you bow down
Stupid childish brat--
No one saying stop that
I have heard enough--
No one saying pipe down
Now pipe down!
Free to make you cringe all day
That's definitely out--
You will do just what I say!
I think it's time that you shut up
And learned to mind your place
When I'm lord, you'll be gone without a trace!
If this is my future lord and ruler,
Then I'll have to eliminate
Put in exile,
Or not breathing
He'll have a nasty fate
This child is under threat of sword
Oh, I just can't wait to be lord!
Everybody will look up
Everybody look down
Cause I'm on the scene-- robe and crown
Not yet
This boy's downfall is certainly assured
I'll be the greatest, I'll be adored!
I'll have all my enemies floored
Oh, I just can't wait to be lord!
Oh, he'll never get to be lord!
Oh, I just can't wait...
Buzzard bait!
To be lord!
