[Background chorus]
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo

[Lead male vocal] When I was a cool young one
[Background chorus] (When he was a cool young one)
[Lead male vocal]
I worked in the colony, paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
Diggin' holes, standin' guard till it crossed my mind

I was wrong
All along
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

(Chorus)
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

[Lead male vocal] When I was a shallow youth
[Background chorus] (When he was a shallow youth)
[Lead male vocal]
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn in the game, I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
But the other stood still

Take my word
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded

(Chorus)

[Background chorus]
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo

[Lead male vocal]
Hakuna Matata!
I hope we have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worldly wise

(Chorus)

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Ernie Sabella and Nathan Lane

[Timon]
Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa here
Then this laid-back quadruped
[Pumbaa]
Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
[Timon] As long as you stand upwind
[Both] Your guide must be this rhapsody

(Chorus)
[Pumbaa] I gets up when I likes
[Timon] He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa] I plans the day ahead
[Timon] He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa] When inspiration strikes
[Timon] He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa] I go right back to bed
[Timon] He's got it all worked out

But though he may not be one of nature's dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Don't dismiss the warthog philosphy

Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa] Take it from me!
[Timon] He's got it all worked out

Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place
[Pumbaa] More often than not it gets away
[Timon] Who needs the thrill of the chase?
[Pumbaa]
Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log
[Timon]
Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
[Pumbaa] Hmmmmmmmmm
[Timon] His attitude

(Chorus)
It's bugs for every meal
[Pumbaa] I've got it all worked out
[Timon] So full of vitamins
[Pumbaa] I've got it all worked out
[Timon] No need to cook or peel
[Pumbaa] I've got it all worked out
[Timon] He eats 'em in their skins
[Pumbaa] I've got it all worked out

[Both]
The're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back
[Timon] Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy

Take it from he
[Pumbaa] Take it from me
[Timon]
Take it from he
He's got it all worked out

[Both]
So remember when you see us staring into space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality
[Timon] Take it from he
[Pumbaa] Take it from me
[Timon] Take it from he
[Pumbaa] Take it from we
[Both] We've got it all worked out
