| “ | Relax, Ono! I know Simba pretty well. And you've got nothing to worry about. Let me tell ya what he's like. | ” |
Running with the King is a song heard in The Lion Guard episode, The Trail to Udugu.
Bunga sings it to Fuli, Beshte, and Ono as a way to assure them how down to earth and respected Simba is throughout the Pride Lands after they receive the news that he will be temporarily leading the Lion Guard while Nala takes Kion and his sister on a journey.

- Bunga:
- You know you're in the presence of greatness
- When you're running with the king
- Animals bow down 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 down 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
- 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 down 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
