Hakuna Matata    (1994)

(Timon:) Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

(Pumbaa:) Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

(Timon:) Why, when he was a young warthog...

(Pumbaa:) When I was a young wart ho-o-o-og!

(Timon:) Very nice.

(Pumbaa:) Thanks!

(Timon:) He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah 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:) Thoughta changin' my name

(Timon:) Oh, what's in a name?

(Pumbaa:) And I got downhearted

(Timon:) How did you feel?

(Pumbaa:) Ev'rytime that I...

(Timon:) Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!

(Pumbaa:) Oh... sorry.

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
(Yeah, sing it, kid!)
It's our problem-free philosophy...
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata

It means no worries
For the rest of your days.
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata

Lyrics by Tim Rice.
Composed by Elton John.
Recorded by Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, and Joseph Williams.
The idea for this song may have come from Teddy Kalanda Harrison who wrote a song called Kenya Hakuna Matata. The Swahili band Them Mushrooms released it in 1980.
