"Yummy Yummy Yummy" is a music video featured after "Truth or Zaire", the second segment of the eleventh episode of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa. It is the second song heard in The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa, as well as the second music video from the series. Timon and Pumbaa perform the song as they express their love for eating grubs. As they feast, they encounter a single grub in which they fight over. They later realize that the bug they were pursuing is a stinkbug and quickly flee from it, while the bug walks away sadly due to its smell.
Lyrics[]
Timon:
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got bugs in my tummy
And I feel like munching you
Pumbaa:
Bugs are such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And that's what I'm gonna do
Timon:
Oooh I love to hold ya
Oooh I love to kiss ya
Oooh I love 'em so
Bugs:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pumbaa:
Sweet, sweeter than sugar
Oh bugs, I won't let them go
Bugs:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Timon:
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got bugs in my tummy
And as sickening as it may seem
Pumbaa:
Nutrition's what their givin'
It's what keeps me livin'
And they taste like peaches and cream
Kinda like sugar
Timon:
Kinda like spices
Kinda like --ooh!
Pumbaa:
What they do
Kinda sounds funny
Timon:
But love, honey
Both:
Honey I love you
Ba da ba-da-da-da da
Ba da da da da ba-da-da-daaaah!
Timon:
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got bugs in my tummy
Pumbaa:
And one more will satisfy
Timon:
Love, you're such a sweet thing
Pumbaa:
Good enough to eat thing
Timon:
Sweet thing that ain't no lie
Pumbaa:
I love to hold ya
Love to kiss ya
Timon:
Oh! I love ya so
Bug:
Noooo!
Timon:
Oh love is sweeter, sweeter than sugar
Oh love I won't let -- STINK BUG!
Chorus:
Ba da ba-da-da-da da
Ba da da da da ba-da-da-daaaah!
