These are the Lyrics that Elton John used in his own performances of "The Lion King" pieces.

Circle of Life

 
From the day we arrive on the planet
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 eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
 
(Chorus)
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
 
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
 
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 the great and small on the endless round
 
(Chorus Repeats and loops into chorus again.)
 
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life.
 

I Just Can't Wait to be King

 
Way behind the water hole
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine
 
I'm gonna be the ruler
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
 
I'm going to be a noble king
Scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
 
I'm gonna be the mane event
That 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
 
(Chorus)
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
 
(Piano Solo)
 
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
Free to do it my way
 
The time has come
As someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
 
It's easy to be royal
If you're already leonine
In isn't just my right
Even my left will be devine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
 
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Repeat until fade)
 

Can You Feel the Love Tonight? (End Title)

 
There's a calm surrender
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
 
(Chorus)
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
 
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twistin' 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
 
(Chorus)
 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
