Duties of the King

Lyrics from The Lion Guard episode Can't Wait to be Queen

Zazu, Simba

[Zazu:] Everyone in the pridelands, big or small
Looks forward to whenever you may call
A visit from Your Highness is an honour, yes, it's true
All your subjects want so much to be with you

So embrace your position
The royal tradition
Delight in the pridelands with every little thing
In all of the wonderful duties of the King

You welcome birds from all around
Grant gazelles their grazing ground
Approve the offical turaco whistles
Guide the clearing of pointy thistles
Preside over aardvark wedding rites
Coach a mongoose's hungry bite
Listen to the zebras' silly pleas
And bless any animal when they sneeze

So embrace your position
The royal tradition
Delight in the pridelands with every little thing
In all of the wonderful duties of the King
In all of the wonderful duties of the King

You set the limits on bushbuck hopping
Judge the hippos' belly-flopping
Consider crocodiles' complaints
And tend to kiss baby porcupines oh so gently

[Simba:] Assign all the songbirds to their trees
Advise confused chimpanzees
Ceremonial naming of the bees
[Zazu:] Consoling giraffes when they get fleas
[Simba:] Actually, that's not much fun
[Zazu:] The fleas do tend to spread
But, that said

So embrace your position
[Simba:] The royal tradition
[Zazu:] Delight in the pridelands with every little thing
In all of the wonderful
[Simba:] In all of the wonderful
[Both:] In all of the wonderful duties of the King
In all of the wonderful duties of the King
