Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Hakuna matata

Yeah, it's our motto

What's a motto?

Nuttin' what's the motto with you?

Hahaha

Those two words will solve all your problems

That's right, take Pumba here

Why

[Verse 3]

When he was a young warthog

When I was a young warthog

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

[Verse 4]

And oh, the shame

He was ashamed

Thought of changing my name

Oh what's in a name

And I got downhearted

How did ya feel?

Every time that I

Hey, Pumba, not in front of the kids

Oh, sorry

[Verse 5]

Hakuna matata

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna matata

Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

Sing it kid

It's our problem free

Philosophy

Hakuna matata

[Verse 6]

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

Hakuna matata

[Verse 7]

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's our problem free

Philosophy

Hakuna matata

I say hakuna

I say matata
