So enemies beware!"
Simba shows his naiveté with this statement, he doesn't understand what's important with the role of being king. He doesn't understand the need of so many things before he can claim the title.
"I've never seen a king of beasts,
With quite so little hair."
Zazoo ties to being Simba down a peg by showing something he does not have, though he does it without charity. That disappeared when Simba proved rather stubborn.
"I'm gonna be the mane event,
Like no king was before.
I'm brushing up on looking down,
I'm working on my roar."
It's shocking sometimes to see how much of a brat a kid can seem to be. Simba is showing every sign of budding arrogance. He shows his personal pride by boasting in himself and not being willing to listen to those with more experience. His respect for his father, Mufasa, can easily be seen; but he forget to take the previous lessons to heart.
"Thus far a rather uninspiring thing."
Zazoo is not impressed by Simba's show of bravado.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!"
The sad thought that comes to mind is that Simba doesn't understand that something would have to happen to Mufasa for him to gain the title of king.
"No one saying do this,
No one saying be there.
No one saying stop that,
No one saying see here."
I understand that kids don't very much enjoy rules or regulations, but at this point they speak of no control, only being controlled by their desires. This would lead to anarchy and general chaos. Rules and regulations are there for the protection and organization of the people. The effect of such a choice will later be seen though Scar's control over the Pridelands.
"Now see here!"
Zazoo, having failed to even get a word in edgewise in frustration tries to speak out and get the attention of the two cubs, but to no avail.
"Free to run around all day!"
A kid's joy comes from playing and running. Simba believes as a king he will have all the time to do the things that are fun and easy to do. Once again ignoring the rules and lessons from before.
"Well, that's definitely out."
Zazoo, having more experience in such times knows that the way of government as imagined by young Simba would not be functional.
"Free to do it all my way."
Simba shows a little of the arrogance mentioned before as well as the young and simple mind of a child. Every kid wants it done their way.
"I think it time that you and I,
Arranged a heart to heart."
Zazoo, though angry still says in a nicer way that he would like to talk to Simba boaut some of his misconceptions.
"Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start."
Simba jabs low for Zazoo, both speaking of stature and of placement. I don't blame Zazoo for throwing all charity out of the window at this point.
"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!"
Zazoo is recognizing there is much that Simba needs to learn. The need for discipline seems pretty strong, and if that doesn't work Zazoo plans to get out of the entire situation.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!"
Simba's whole goal is repeated many times int he song, his goal of one day ruling the kingdom of his father. In reality all people can and in a way rule a kingdom of their own in a life after this. If we strive to obey the commandments and serve God with all our might, we can and will have kingdoms like unto His.
"Everybody look left,
Everybody look right,
Everywhere you look,
I'm standing spot light!"
Prid is one of the seven deadly sins as often they are called, in fact, it is the foremost and first of all of them. The pride of one always precedes one or another of the sins. As is stated in the movie The Testaments produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "pride is the seed of destruction." As spoken by Helam. With his actions caused by Simba's pride he is later humbled strongly.
"Not yet!"
Simba had "not yet" reached his status of king, so the things that he says about his obtaining the glory of the position has "not yet" taken place.
"Let every creature know ... to sing,
Let's here is in the herd and on the wing.
It's gonna be King Simba's finest thing!"
Pulled into Simba's exuberance the other animals sing together and pull together in the job of distracting Zazoo from is course of guiding and protecting the two youngsters.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!"
