A/N: This is a crack fic that resulted from writing To Court a Queen while listening to Disney songs. A huge thanks to my partner in crime on this, Jediavenger.

Chapter 1: Circle of Life

Early morning in the Goblin Kingdom and all was quiet except the quiet rustling of leaves in the wind. Jareth the Goblin King was already up and saddling his horse, Thunder, preparing to begin his inspection of the Kingdom. As he rode out, the sun began to peek over the horizon.

The silence was suddenly broken by the shrill voice of a goblin. "Myyyyyy iguana baby gets a baba!" Jareth threw a crystal at him knocking him off the rock he was standing on. The little goblin shook his head and got back up. "Saaay ooooh iguana!" He sang at the top of his lungs. Jareth cringed as he kept singing. "Myyyy iguana baby gets a baba! Sayyy ooooh iguana!"

Jareth threw another crystal at him. It shattered and covered the blue goblin in silver glitter. He shook his head, sneezed and started singing again. "Iguana!" He stopped and grinned. "Seeee no baba!" He sang with more energy as he realized the king had given him a better voice.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Jareth sighed. "At least his gibberish song sounds decent now," he mumbled to himself.

"Iguana!" The now vocally gifted Goblin kept singing. "Iguana has a new enamel!"

As the goblin kept singing his gibberish, Jareth rode up the hill into the sunlight and found himself wanting to sing. "From the day we arrive on the planet, And, blinking, step into the sun." He raised his hand to his eyes to shield them from the blinding sun. "There's more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done." Jareth continued singing as he rode through his Kingdom, his subjects bowing to him as he rode by. "There's far too much to take in here. More to find than can ever be found."

Giving Thunder a nudge with his heel, they took off into a gallop. "But the sun rolling high, through the sapphire sky," They rode up the hill, heading for the peak of the first small mountain, which gave the King the best view of the area. "Keeps great and small on the endless round." As they reached the summit, they stopped and Jareth dismounted. "It's the circle of life!" The King held his hands out over his head and really started to get into his spontaneous melody. "And it moves us all!"

Nearby creatures heard the King's song and began to gather to listen. "Through despair and hope." Jareth summoned crystal after crystal and tossed them at his subjects, healing the sick, cleaning the dirty and providing food for the hungry. "Through faith and love." He summoned larger crystals and tossed them at the barren field. "Till we find our place. On the path unwinding." A vast garden appeared and small store houses and huts for the local goblins. "In the circle," He watched as a group of trolls hunted their prey at the edge of the forest. "The circle of life."

Jareth left the mountain and moved on to the next area, granting gifts to his subjects as he went. He made his usual journey and helped where he could and visited with the children in the villages. When he was done with his rounds he returned to the castle, still humming his song from that morning.

Jogging up the stairs to the castle, he started singing once more. "It's the circle of life. And it moves us all." Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the goblin from earlier. The silly thing had somehow caught a cat and was attempting to hold it over the castle wall.

Jareth stopped to watch the goblin. "Through despair and hope." The cat hissed at the goblin and clawed him before chasing the now screaming goblin. "Through faith and love."

Jareth continued up the stairs and through the main gate. "Til we find our place. On the path unwinding." He hurried up the spiral staircase to the throne room. "In the circle, the circle of life." Jareth finished his song as he sat on his throne.
