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
Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata
I say hakuna
I say matata
Hakuna matata
Hakuna matata
Tata
