Lyrics[]

Timon and Pumbaa:
There's one honey badger
Who's smart as can be

Timon:
He's smarter than Pumbaa

Pumbaa:
He's smarter than me

Timon:
It may sound kooky
But it came from Rafiki!

Pumbaa:
He's one smart cookie

Timon:
He's amazingly geeky

Timon and Pumbaa:
His IQ is off the charts
He outthinks the best of us

Pumbaa:
But he's also got heart!

Timon and Pumbaa:
So he'll think for the rest of us
So!

Step right up, meet Bunga the Wise
The wisest of all, and he loves to advise
If you're feeling down, don't know what to do
Let Bunga the Wise do your thinking for you

Timon: (spoken)
Kid, that's your cue

Pumbaa: (spoken)
Come on, Bunga
You know what to do

Bunga: (spoken)
Guess who?
So!

Chorus:
Step right up and meet Bunga the Wise
The wisest of all, and I love to advise
If you're feeling down, don't know what to do
Let Bunga the Wise do your thinking for you

Bunga:
Go on, ask any questions
I'll tell you my thoughts
Those stripes don't suit ya
I'd change it to spots
That bearded look's out
You gnus ought to shave 'em
Give me your grubs
I'll be sure to save 'em

Timon:
He can solve almost any problem conceivable!

Bunga:
I've got so much wisdom
It's un-Bunga-lievable!

Pumbaa:
So!

Timon:
So!

Bunga:
So!

All:
Repeat Chorus

Step right up and meet Bunga the Wise
The wisest of all, and I love to advise
If you're feeling down, don't know what to do

Pumbaa:
Let Bunga the Wise

Timon:
Let Bunga the Wise

Bunga:
Let Bunga the Wise

All:
Do your thinking for you!
