Hakuna Matatta
"That's not what I was taught," said Simba.
"Neither were us," said Timon, "Repeat after me: Hakuna Matatta."
"What?" asked Simba.
"Hakuna Matatta," said Pumbaa, "It means 'no worries'"
"Let's tell you about it," said Timon,
Timon: When I was a cool young one
Pumbaa: When he was a cool young one.
Timon: 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
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!
Pumbaa: When I was a shallow youth
Timon: When he was a shallow youth
Pumbaa: 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
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!
Timon: 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
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!"
And once Simba had understood the meaning of Hakuna Matatta, the three had many great adventures together, until one day…
