When you're running with the king

Animals bow before him

Birds flutter and sing

Everyone all over the Pride Lands

Lets you do anything

You know you're in the presence of greatness

When you're running with the king

Things'll be so great

Hanging with lion number one

We'll live like we're kings

The big old tree of fun

Get our food for free

No need to hunt or run

The only thing to do is lie under the sun

You know you're in the presence of greatness

When you're running with the king

Animals bow before him

Birds flutter and sing

Everyone all over the Pride Lands

Lets you do anything

ou know you're in the presence of greatness

When you're running with the king

Maybe it's the smile or his fabulous shiny mane

Or the way he walks that helps his claim to fame

In the end it don't matter, it's really all the same

'Cause if the king makes mistakes he never takes the blame

You know you're in the presence of greatness

When you're running with the king

Animals bow before him

Birds flutter and sing

Everyone all over the Pride Lands

Lets you do anything

'Cause you know you're in the presence of greatness

When you're running with the king
