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
[Timon & Pumbaa:] It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Simba:] Hakuna Matata?
[Pumbaa:] Yeah, it’s our motto
[Simba:] What’s a motto?
[Timon:] Nothin’! What’s a motto with you?
[Pumbaa:] Nice!
[Timon:] Boom!
[Pumbaa:] Those two words will solve all your problems.
[Timon:] Yeah, take Pumbaa, here.
[Timon:] Why, when he was a young warthog
[Pumbaa:] When I was a young warthog
[Timon:] How you feelin’?
[Pumbaa:] It’s an emotional story.
[Timon:] He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
[Pumbaa:] I’m a sensitive soul, although I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
[Timon:] I was always here for you, and I resent that.
[Pumbaa:] And, oh, the shame!
[Timon:] Yes, he was ashamed!
[Pumbaa:] I thought of changin’ my name
[Timon:] I mean, to what, Brad?
[Pumbaa:] And I got downhearted every time that I farted
Are you gonna stop me?
[Timon:] No, I’m not, you disgust me!
[Timon & 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
[Pumbaa:] Yeah, sing it, kid.
[All three:] It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
[Simba:] It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[All three:] It’s our problem-free philosophy
[Simba:] Hakuna Matata, oh
Hakuna Matata, yeah
Hakuna Matata, oh, oh
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[All three:] It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
[Simba:] One more time!
[Timon:] Oh, no, I think we did it.
[Pumbaa:] I think we got this one.
[Simba:] But we’re just getting in the groove.
[Timon:] No, let’s leave them wantin’ more.
[Pumbaa:] Yeah, you’ve grown 400 pounds since we started.
[Timon:] Meanwhile, I look exactly the same.
[Simba:] It means no worries, oh
[Pumbaa:] Will you tell him to stop?
[Timon:] Well, you insisted we sing this song.
[Pumbaa:] I insisted? You started singing it!
[Timon:] It’s our signature song. We shouldn’t be sharing it.
[Pumbaa:] But it’s our signature song, so we have to
[Timon:] Look, just tell him to stop.
[Simba:] It means no worries, oh
[Timon:] Oh, now he’s riffing, Pumbaa. This is a nightmare.
[Pumbaa:] It actually is kinda getting better.
