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 our problem-free philosophy

 

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata?

 

Yeah. It's our motto!

What's a motto?

Nothing. What's a-motto with you?

 

Those two words will solve all your problems

That's right. Take Pumbaa here

 

Why, when he was a young warthog...

When I was a young wart hog

Very nice

Thanks

 

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal

He could clear the savannah after every meal

 

I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind

And oh, the shame

He was ashamed

Thought of changin' my name

What's in a name?

And I got downhearted

How did ya feel?

Everytime that I...

 

Hey! Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!

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

 

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata!Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata!Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata!Hakuna Matata! Hakuna--

 

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!(Repeats)

I say "Hakuna" I say "Matata"
