Anti Hakuna Matata, a lion king fanfic

ANTI HAKUNA MATATA

Believe it or not, I'm one of those select few who doesn't go stark-raving mad over "The Lion King". Don't get me wrong; it's not a bad movie. I've seen worse. I admire the animation, and the music and storyline are okay. But I just never got into the hype, and it seems Disney is trying to squeeze every last drop out of it as possible, since it's their most popular movie. That, and I've seen and heard it so much over the years that it simply got old.

I've long since lost count of the number of times I've heard "Hakuna Matata"; I could sing it forward and backward, in my sleep. What you're about to read describes my feelings for that song to a T.

Hakuna Matata, what an annoying phrase
Hakuna Matata, a truly crazy craze
It drives me loony, every hour of my days
A bats-in-the-belfry philosophy
Hakuna Matata

Why, from the time I was a small child—
FROM THE TIME YOU WERE A SMALL CHILD!
(Er, very nice.)
(Thanks!)

I felt this expression lacked a certain appeal
I could never figure out what was the big deal
Always loved a good song, though this one's a waste
And it hurt that my friends thought I had no taste

And oh, the shame!
(You're so ashamed!)
What's with this bizarre name?
(Oh, what's in a name?)
I get so downhearted
(How do ya feel?)
Every time Pumbaa's—

Dude, not in front of the kids!
(Whoops, sorry.)

Hakuna Matata, what a maddening phrase
Hakuna Matata, it's a crazy craze!
It drives me loopy, every hour of my days
It's a real nutty philosophy
Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna—

It drives me loony, every hour of my days
A silly and sappy philosophy

Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata—

Okay, okay, enough with the singing already!
