(One day at the Pride Lands, Simba is seen at Pride Rock, watching over the savannah at the peak as Nala and the others show up to greet Simba)
*Simba: What a day to rule the Pride Lands. *embrace his friends and family*
*Nala: Hey Simba.
*Simba: Hi Nala. How are you doing?
*Nala: Pretty good. How is watching over the Pride Lands doing for you?
*Simba: Great. Keeping the Circle of Life in touch and making sure everything stay in scale.
*Kiara: Hey dad.
*Simba: Hi Kiara.
*Kovu: Staying in touch, huh?
*Vitani: I heard the birds are migrating one place to another and the monkeys are giving out bananas to everyone.
*Simba: Oh cool. Wish we could try one of their fruits someday.
*Timon: We're better off eating a grub than a healthy fruit.
*Pumbaa: Slimy and sasitidging.
*Zazu: Any reports in the Pride Lands lately, sire?
*Simba: Nothing much. I think we're all good now.
*Rafiki: Hoo hoo hoo. We're gonna have a fun day in the savannah, are we?
*Simba: It's gonna be one of those days.
*Sarabi: Come on Simba. Let's go take a walk together.
*Sarafina: Once again, we are family.
*Simba: And we are one.
*Nala: That's my Simba.
*Simba: Let's go.
(Simba and his friends take a walk in the Pride Lands as they walk into the savannah while stepping on the grass to chill and talk)
*Simba: So, how things are going?
*Nala: Pretty alright. There's nothing to bother around here.
*Kiara: I can't wait to have a cub.
*Kovu: Me too. Glad we're being treated equally than being harsh in the Outlands.
*Vitani: I wouldn't ramble going through another ha-ha story in two seasons.
*Timon: Why don't you shake a leg, will ya?
*Pumbaa: I would be down for a grub salad! Like fruit salad!
*Zazu: Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all. Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall. Ah, good old times of a single morning report every day.
*Rafiki: Mufasa promised a perfect land with dignity and respect when he was around.
*Sarabi: Look where we are right now. A perfect land with no hate.
*Sarafina: With love, courage, dignity and respect in our pride.
*Simba: Man, I feel like being in the groove right now.
*Nala: Of course we're in the groove.
*Kiara: If you sing to us, we sing to you.
*Simba: I'm just getting started on the clock.
*Kovu: We got a long way from here.
*Vitani: I see what you mean.
*Simba: It's a Pride Lands' nutrition to sing and get on your lap. *sing*
I breathe you in without fail
And then I think twice before I exhale
But you're not mine to keep
*Nala: *stand on a rock*
You tell me you wanna be free
Yeah, you wanna keep it nice
You wanna keep it low-key
*Kiara: *to Simba*
Oh, but don't bring me down
Just try to understand me
Won't you come a little closer
And let me whisper to you
And I'll say
*Simba and Nala: *stand and jump while dancing*
You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
Just let me sing to you
Oh, yeah
No, you don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
Just let me sing to you
Whoa
*Kiara: *to Simba*
Now I know you're the type
Who'd throw my hopes away, throw my hopes away
*Kovu: *think*
Like when you hop to the Pride Lands and out to the Outlands'
And you can do what you like
*Vitani: *to Kovu*
I'm not trying to be your one and only
I'm just trying to make you feel good
*Timon: *eat a grub* So good, so good.
*Pumbaa: *slurp a worm* So good, so good.
*Zazu: *eat a worm* So good, so good.
*Rafiki: Ooh ooh ooh. *sing*
Oh, but don't bring me down
Oh, just try to understand me
Won't you come a little closer and let me whisper to you
And I'll say
*Simba and Nala: *move from side to side and jiggle*
You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
Just let me sing to you
Whoa, yeah
*Zazu: Show me what you're working with.
*Timon and Pumbaa: *groove*

You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing
Just let me sing to you
Just let me sing to you
*Simba and Nala: *hold together*
Just let me sing to you
Just let me sing to you!
*Rafiki: *he and everyone clap as they continue to walk in the savannah* Bravo! I'm impressed.
*Zazu: Every song worth singing is worth singing twice.
*Simba: One more time.
*Timon: Oh, no. I think we did it.
*Pumbaa: I think we got this one.
*Nala: Yeah.
*Simba: But we're just getting in the groove, guys.
*Kiara: No, let's leave 'em wanting more.
*Kovu: Yeah, you've grown 400 pounds since we started.
*Vitani: Meanwhile, I looked exactly the same.
*Simba: *sing* You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing. Oh!
*Pumbaa: Will you tell him to stop?
*Nala: But you insisted we sing the song.
*Pumbaa: I insisted? You started singing it.
*Nala: Well, it's our signature song. We shouldn't be sharing it with everyone.
*Simba: Look at that sunset.
*Sarabi: Wow.
*Sarafina: So breezy.
*Pumbaa: But it's our signature song, so we have to. Look, just tell him to stop.
*Simba: *sing* Just let me sing to you. Yeah!
*Timon: Oh, now, he's riffing, Pumbaa. This is a nightmare.
*Pumbaa: It actually is becoming better and better.
*Nala: It always on the groove.
*Simba: *sing* Just let me sing to you. Ah ah ah.
(Simba and his friends continue to walk all over the Pride Lands as the sunset shines them on the way)
THE END
==Trivia==
*The short is based off the John Splithoff's song "Sing to You".
*In various scenes where Simba and Nala are dancing and grooving mimics the lions' dancing in a Alpenliebe Creamfills Lion commercial where it shows a hunter on the savanna, encountering lions as the lions play the radio's music to dance before scaring off the hunter.
**This reference has also happened in The Lion Dance which parodied the commercial.
*The last lines were taken from the lyrics of "Hakuna Matata" from the 2019 The Lion King remake.
