I Just Can't Wait to be King
Penny appeared on the right side of the stage as Simba with a paper map was now with Sarabi, Sarafina, Nala, and the other lionesses.
Penny: "Simba was now on a new quest to map out the kingdom that he is set to rule. He traveled every corner to map it out, except the Elephant Graveyard. And had Nala with him.
Craig: "Hey Nala!"
Wildernessa: "Hey, Simba what are you doing?"
Craig: "I'm just mapping the entire Pridelands, Wanna come?"
Wildernessa: "Can I go Mom?"
Akko: "What do you think Sarabi?"
Diana: "Well, if it's fine by me then they can, Where are you heading to?
Craig: "The waterhole."
Diana: "Okay, You can go as long as Zazu goes with you."
Craig and Wildernessa: "What?! Not Zazu!"
Diana: "Zazu goes or you don't."
Craig: (Sighs) "Yes, Mom."
The Lionesses depart to the left side of the stage as Zazu comes in from that side as the trio is now strolling through the savanna.
Squidward: "Okay, step in lively as soon as we get to the waterhole. The sooner we can leave. Oh, here we are."
Upon arrival the animals there were playing and drinking from the water as Simba and Nala sat on a rock as they went over the map.
Craig: "Well, I'm starting a map of the kingdom right now, So I can know the different places of my future kingdom."
Wildernessa: "A map of the kingdom? Is that all? What about those who live in it? You don't even know anything about animals or even ruling a kingdom?"
Craig: "Of course, them too, they are my subjects. Once I get to know them."
Then an adolescent White Rhinoceros played by Cheesesticks snorts and nuzzles Nala's face.
Craig: "Who's that?"
Wildernessa: "Cheesesticks, my friend and steed."
As the cubs discussed Zazu stopped and took note of them.
Squidward: "Just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossom in the savanna for the future King and Queen! Your parents will be proud with you two betrothed and all?"
Craig: "What do you mean future Queen?"
Wildernessa: "Betrothed?"
Squidward: "Yes, you will be betrothed. Affiance!"
Craig: "You speak bird right?"
Wildernessa: "Bethroed as in?"
Squidward: "Married?! One day, you two are going to be married! o each other!
Craig and Wildernessa: "What?! Ew!"
Craig: "That's not gonna happen Zazu."
Wildernessa: "Never ever."
Craig: "I can't marry her. She's my friend."
Wildernessa: "It'd be too weird."
Squidward: "Sorry to bust your bubble, but it's a tradition going back generations."
Craig: "Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go."
Squidward: "A monarch who ignores tradition?! With an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king!"
Craig: "well, I'm not letting anyone tell me what to do or even who to marry. There will never be a king like me!"
Squidward: "Simba! You can't escape your destiny!"
Craig: "Not the way I see it! Just you watch!"
Then the curtains fall down leaving Zazu out in the open now panicked and running about the stage where the cubs are.
Squidward: (Yelped) "What is this? What's going on?! Simba? Nala?! This wasn't in the Cartoon! Oh dear! I better find them! Where are you? I'm counting to three! 1, 2-
Then the curtains open up as Simba leaps in front of him.
Craig: (singing) I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
Squidward: (singing) Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
Craig: I'm gonna be the great event
Like no king was before
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my
ROAR!
Squidward: Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Craig: Oh, I just Can't Wait to be King!
Squidward: "You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think…"
The Cubs run circles around Zazu.
Craig: No one saying do this
Squidward: "Now when I said that, I-"
Wildernessa: No one saying be there
Squidward: "What I meant was…"
Craig: No one saying stop that
Squidward: "Look, what you don't realize…"
Craig and Wildernessa: No one saying see here!
Squidward: "Now see here!"
Craig: Free to run around all day
Squidward: "Well, that's definitely out…"
Craig: Free to do it all my way!

Squidward: "Let me go! Now look Here!" (singing) I think it's time that you and I
Arrange a heart-to-heart
Wildernessa: Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
Squidward: 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 under wing
(Speaking) "Simba?!"
Craig: Oh, I just Can't Wait, to be King!
Soon the rest of the animals came, elephants African Bush Elephants (Luna, Sam, Chunk, Sully, Mazzy, Simon, Clemont, and Bonnie), "the Moon Goats" played their instruments.

Squidward: "Simba! I can't see you Simba! I mustn't leave my sight at all times I know what you're doing?! Come on?!
The Masai Giraffes (Frankie, Wilt, Mac, Gretchen Grundler, Ash, Serena, Lisa, and Darcy) streched their necks up as they cleared a path for the cubs.
Squidward: "You can't hide from me, Simba! It's my duty to keep you safe! You listen to me right now!

Soon everybody was dancing with Zazu confused in the middle of the stage, then Nala appeared on the left side of the stage while Simba appeared on the right side of the stage.
Craig: Everyone Look Left!
The Animals turned their heads left as the hornbill was trampled.
Wildernessa: Everybody Look Right!
As the Animals turned their heads right Zazu got run over again as the cubs ran to the center with the spotlight shining on them.
Craig: Everywhere you look I'm
Craig and Wildernessa: Standing in the spotlight!
Squilliam: "Not Yet!"
Then everyone continued as the animals sang along with the cubs.
Craig, Wildernessa, and Animals: Let every creature go for broke and sing
The giraffes bend their necks and the elephants spread their trunks to trumpet at the audience. Zazu Shrugs if you can't beat them join them as the hornbill gets out his clarinet and joins in on the number.
All: Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
Zazu appears with the birds playing the clarinet.
All: It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Craig: Oh, I Just Can't Wait to be King!
Wildernessa: Oh, He just Can't Wait to be King!
Then Chunk and Soos lift up Craig while Eduardo and Mr. Krabs lift up Wildernessa at the center of the stage as the animal crowd gathers around them,
Craig: Oh, I Just Can't waaaaaait ...
Wildernessa: Just Can't waaaaaait ...
All: to be King!
The Curtains rolls down ending the musical number with the audience cheering and clapping.
