Lyrics
Timon:
- Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Pumbaa:
- Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze!
Timon:
- It means no worries
- For the rest of your days
Timon and Pumbaa:
- It's our problem-free philosophy
Timon:
- Hakuna Matata
- Why! When he was a young warthog
Pumbaa:
- When I was a young warthog!
Timon:
- Very nice.
Pumbaa:
- Thanks.
Timon:
- He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
- He could clear the savanna after every meal
Pumbaa:
- I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick skinned
- And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
- And, oh, the shame
Timon:
- He was ashamed!
Pumbaa:
- Thought of changing my name
Timon:
- Oh, what's in a name?
Pumbaa:
- And I got downhearted
Timon:
- How did you feel?
Pumbaa:
- Every time that I...
Timon:
- Hey, Pumbaa, not in front of the kids
Pumbaa:
- Oh, sorry
Timon and Pumbaa:
- Hakuna Matata!
- What a wonderful phrase
- Hakuna Matata!
- Ain't no passing craze
Simba:
- It means no worries
- For the rest of your days
Timon:
- Yeah, sing it, kid!
Simba and Timon:
- It's our problem-free
Pumbaa:
- Philosophy
All:
- Hakuna Matata!
- Hakuna...it means no worries
- For the rest of your days
- It's our problem-free philosophy
- Hakuna Matata!
Lyrics (Rhythm Of The Pride Lands)
- Hakuna Matata!
- Hem hollolo iyo
- Hakuna Matata!
- Hem may'babo
- When I was a cool young one
- (When he was a cool young one)
- I worked in the colony, paying my dues
- Accepting without question the prevailing views
- That a young man's life was one long grind
- Diggin' holes, standin' guard till it crossed my mind
- I was wrong
- All along
- All that I needed
- Was to have heeded
Chorus:
- Hakuna Matata!
- What a wonderful phrase
- Hakuna Matata!
- Ain't no passing craze
- It means no worries
- For the rest of your days
- It's a problem-free philosophy
- Hakuna Matata!
- When I was a shallow youth
- (When he was a shallow youth)
- Cool calm reflection
- I was never that good
- I was a pawn in the game, I saw no trees for the wood
- My future stretched behind me
- I was over the hill
- I put my best foot forward
- But the other stood still
- Take my word
- I have heard
- All that I needed
- Was to have heeded
Repeat chorus
- Hakuna Matata!
- Hem hollolo iyo
- Hakuna Matata!
- Hem may'babo
- Hakuna Matata!
- I hope we have conveyed
- You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
- It's much cooler in the shade
- Some say it's just a waste of time
- But they don't realize
- That view is nothing but a crime
- We are creatures worldly wise
Repeat chorus
