Verse 1
GCG
Timon: Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
CG
Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passing craze
FCG
It means no worries for the rest of your days
FCG
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Chorus

Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!

Verse 2
GCG
Pumbaa: When he was a young warthog
CG
When I was a young warthog!
FCG
Very nice! Thanks!
FCG
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
FCG
He could clear the savannah after every meal
FCG
I’m a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
FCG
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
FCG
And oh, the shame (He was ashamed!)
FCG
Thought of changin’ my name (Oh, what’s in a name?)
FCG
And I got downhearted (How did you feel?)
FCG
Everytime that I- Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
FCG
Oh… sorry
