Warthog Rhapsody

"Warthog Rhapsody" is a song composed by Elton John for The Lion King. The song was recorded, but was later replaced with "Hakuna Matata", which serves the same narrative purpose. However, the song was produced and released on Rhythm of the Pride Lands and The Lion King: The Legacy Collection, and was rewritten as "That's All I Need" for The Lion King 1½.
==Lyrics==
Timon:
Now, if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa, here
Than this laid-back quadruped
Pumbaa:
Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
Timon:
As long as you stand upwind
Timon and Pumbaa:
Your guide must be this rhapsody
Pumbaa:
I gets up when I likes
Timon:
He's got it all worked out
Pumbaa:
I plans the day ahead
Timon:
He's got it all worked out
Pumbaa:
When inspiration strikes
Timon:
He's got it all worked out
Pumbaa:
I go right back to bed
Timon:
He's got it all worked out
But though he may not be one of nature's dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Don't dismiss the warthog philosophy
Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out
Pumbaa:
Take it from me!
Timon:
He's got it all worked out
Pumbaa: (spoken)
I'm starved!
Simba: (spoken)
Me too, what's for lunch?
Timon: (spoken)
Glad ya asked, kid
Should we tell him, Pumbaa?
Pumbaa: (spoken)
Uh-huh!
Timon: (spoken)
Now listen to this, this is the important part
Timon:
Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place
Pumbaa:
More often than not it gets away
Timon:
Who needs the thrill of the chase?
Pumbaa:
Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log
Timon:
Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
Pumbaa:
Mmm-mmm!
Timon:
His attitude
It's bugs for every meal
Pumbaa:
I've got it all worked out
Timon:
So full of vitamins
Pumbaa:
I've got it all worked out
Timon:
No need to cook or peel
Pumbaa:
I've got it all worked out
Timon:
He eats 'em in their skins
Pumbaa:
I've got it all worked out
Timon and Pumbaa:
They're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back
Timon:
Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy
Take it from he
Pumbaa:
Take it from me
Timon:
Take it from he
He's got it all worked out
Timon: (spoken)
Come on kid, it's now or never!
Hit it, Pumbaa!
Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba:
So remember when you see us staring into space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality
Timon:
Take it from he
Pumbaa:
Take it from me
Timon and Simba:
Take it from he
Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba:
Take it from we
We've got it all worked out!
