Hogan's Heroes Sing Hakuna Matata

When I was a captive man

When he was a captive man

I worked in the prison camp paying my dues

Accepting without question the prevailing views

That a prisoner's life was one long grind

Digging tunnels, bribing guards

Till it crossed my mind

I was part of a plan, a scheme so grand

And all that I needed was to have heeded

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

When I was a Stalag guard

When he was a Stalag guard

When roll call was done, prisoners out of my sight

They crept out of camp almost every night

I feared I'd be blamed, I turned and looked away

Just to find they'd be back the very next day

Bet my word

I have heard

All that I needed was to have heeded

Chorus

Hakuna Matata

I hope we have conveyed

You don't got to bust a gut in the snow

Colonel Hogan's got the plan all made

Some say it's too great a risk to take

But they don't realize

We cover all the schemes we make

We are creatures worldly wise

Chorus
