Note EJ = The Elton John version
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Therecomes a lion] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer] [Chant repeats] From the day we arrive on the planet It's the Circle of Life It's the Circle of Life
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [Here is a lion and a tiger]
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
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
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 Well, I've never seen a king of beasts I'm gonna be the mane event Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing Oh, I just can't wait to be king! No one saying do this
So enemies beware!
With quite so little hair
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR
(You've rather a long way to go, young master,
if you think...)
(Now when I said that, I -)
No one saying be there
(What I meant was...)
No one saying stop that
(Look, what you don't realize...)
No one saying see here
(Now see here!)
Free to run around all day
(Well, that's definitely out...)
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!
Not yet!
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!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
I never thought hyenas essential I know that your powers of retention It's clear from your vacant expressions So prepare for a chance of a lifetime I know it sounds sordid It's great that we'll soon be connected Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected So prepare for the coup of the century Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
With a king who'll be all-time adored
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
Be prepared!
Hakuna Matata! It means no worries Why, when he was a young warthog... Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata It means no worries
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
When I was a young wart hoooog!
Very nice.
Thanks!
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Ev'rytime that I...
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry.
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Yeah, sing it, kid!
It's our problem-free
philosophy...
Hakuna Matata!
[Repeats]
For the rest of your days.
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Repeats]
I can see what's happening The sweet caress of twilight Can you feel the love tonight? So many things to tell her He's holding back, he's hiding Can you feel the love tonight? Can you feel the love tonight? And if he falls in love tonight
(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.
(Oh.)
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed
From the day we arrive on the planet Some say eat or be eaten (Chorus) Some of us fall by the wayside There's far too much to take in here (Chorus repeats) On the path unwinding
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.
Way beyond the water hole I'm gonna be the ruler I'm going to be a noble king I'm gonna be the mane event (Chorus) (Piano Solo) No one saying do this The time has come It's easy to be royal Oh, I just can't wait to be king
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
And scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way
As someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
If you're already leonine
It isn't just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Repeat until fade)
EJ, Can You FeelThe Love Tonight
There's a calm surrender (Chorus) There's a time for everyone (Chorus) It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Believe the very best
