Hakuna Matata Lyrics by Max Casella, Tom Alan Robbins, Scott Irby-Ranniar, Jason Raize

The Lion King (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1997

[TIMON]
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
[PUMBAA]
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
[TIMON]
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[BOTH]
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
[TIMON]
Hakuna Matata!
[YOUNG SIMBA, spoken]
Hakuna Matata?
[PUMBAA, spoken]
Yeah. It's our motto!
[YOUNG SIMBA, spoken]
What's a motto?
[TIMON, spoken]
Nothin'! What's-a-motto with you?!
[PUMBAA, spoken]
Those two words will solve all your problems
[TIMON, spoken]
That's right. Take Pumbaa here
(sung)
Why, when he was a young warthog
[PUMBAA]
When I was a young warthog
[TIMON, spoken]
Very nice
[PUMBAA, spoken]
Thanks
[TIMON]
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after ev'ry meal
[PUMBAA]
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And, oh, the shame
[TIMON]
Oh, the shame!
[PUMBAA]
Thought of changin' my name
[TIMON]
What's in a name?
[PUMBAA]
And I got downhearted
[TIMON]
How did ya feel?
[PUMBAA]
Ev'rytime that I -
[TIMON, spoken]
Hey, Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
[PUMBAA, spoken]
Oh, sorry
[BOTH]
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
[YOUNG SIMBA]
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[ALL]
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata![x3]
Hakuna Matata!
[ADULT SIMBA]
It means no worries for the rest of your days
[ALL]
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata! [repeat]
[PUMBAA]
I say "Hakuna"
[TIMON]
I say "Matata"
