Lyrics

Timon:

Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase

Pumbaa:

Hakuna Matata

It ain't no passing craze

Timon:

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Both:

It's our problem-free

Philosophy

Timon:

Hakuna Matata

Simba: (spoken)

Hakuna Matata?

Pumbaa: (spoken)

Yeah, it's our motto.

Simba: (spoken)

What's a motto?

Timon: (spoken)

Nothin'. 'What's a motto' with you?

Pumbaa: (spoken)

Nice!

Timon: (spoken)

Boom!

Pumbaa: (spoken)

Those two words will solve all your problems.

Timon: (spoken)

Yeah. Take Pumbaa here.

Timon:

Why, when he was a young warthog

Pumbaa:

When I was a young warthog!

Timon: (spoken)

How you feelin'?

Pumbaa: (spoken)

It's an emotional story.

Timon:

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal

He could clear the savanna after every meal

Pumbaa:

I'm a sensitive soul, although I seem thick-skinned

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind!

Timon: (spoken)

I was always here for you, and I resent that!

Pumbaa:

And, oh, the shame!

Timon:

Yes, he was ashamed!

Pumbaa:

I thought of changing my name!

Timon:

I mean, to what? Brad?

Pumbaa:

And I got downhearted!

Every time that I farted

Are you gonna stop me?

Timon: (spoken)

No, I'm not! You disgust me.

Both:

Hakuna Matata

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata

Ain't no passing craze!

Simba:

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Pumbaa:

Yeah, sing it, kid!

Simba and Timon:

It's our problem-free

Philosophy

All:

Hakuna Matata!

Instrumental Break

Timon and Pumbaa:

Hakuna! Matata!

Hakuna! Matata!

Hakuna! Matata!

Hakuna!

Simba:

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

All:

It's our problem-free

Philosophy

Simba:

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

All:

It's our problem-free

Philosophy

Simba:

Hakuna Matata!

Simba: (spoken)

One more time!

Timon: (spoken)

Oh, no. I think we did it.

Pumbaa: (spoken)

I think we got this one.

Simba: (spoken)

But we're just getting in the groove!

Timon: (spoken)

No, let's leave 'em wanting more.

Pumbaa: (spoken)

Yeah, you've grown 400 pounds since we started.

Timon: (spoken)

Meanwhile, I look exactly the same.

Simba:

It means no worries

For, yeah

It means no worries
