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!

Why, when he was a young warthog...
	When I was a young wart hoooog!
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!)
	Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
	And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
	Ev'rytime that I...
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
	Yeah, sing it, kid!
It's our problem-free
philosophy...
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna matata
[Repeats]

It means no worries
For the rest of your days.
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
