## Lyrics

* Original version
* Timon and Pumbaa version
* Midquel version
* Jimmy Cliff's version

**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

**Timon and Pumbaa:** It's our problem-free philosophy

**Timon:** Hakuna Matata!

*(Instrumental Bridge)*

**Timon:** Why, when he was a young warthog...

**Pumbaa:** When I was a young warthog!

**Timon:** *(rubbing his ear)* Very nice.

**Pumbaa:** Thanks.

**Timon:** He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal

He could clear the Savannah after every meal

**Pumbaa:** I am a sensitive soul

Though I seem thick-skinned

And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind

And oh, the shame!

**Timon:** He was ashamed!

**Pumbaa:** Thought of changing my name!

**Timon:** Oh, what's in a name!

**Pumbaa:** And I got downhearted!

**Timon:** How did you feel?

**Pumbaa:** Every time that I...

**Timon:** Hey, Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!

**Pumbaa:** Oh, sorry.

**Timon and Pumbaa:** Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase!

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze

**Simba:** It means no worries for the rest of your days

**Timon:** Yeah, sing, kid!

**Timon and Simba:** It's our problem-free...

**Pumbaa:** philosophy!

**All:** Hakuna Matata!

*(Instrumental Bridge)*

**Timon and Pumbaa:** Hakuna! Matata! *(3x)*

Hakuna...

**Simba:** It means no worries for the rest of your days

**All:** It's our problem-free philosophy

**Timon:** Hakuna Matata

**Pumbaa:** Hakuna Matata

**Simba:** Hakuna Matata...

**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!

**Pumbaa:** Yeah!

*(Instrumental bridge)*

**Both:**

Hakuna! Matata!

Timon! And Pumbaa!

Hakuna! Matata!

**Timon:** It means no worries, for the rest of your days

**Both:** It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

Timon and Pumbaa!

**Timon and Pumbaa:** Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase!

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze

**Timon:** It means no worries, for the rest of your day--

(Timon pauses the movie)

**Timon:** Hakuna Matata! Ha-haah!

(Both scream as they bungee-jump)

**Timon and Pumbaa:** It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata...

Hakuna Matata!

Hem hollolo iyo

Hakuna Matata!

Hem hollolo iyo

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata!

When I was a cool young one

(When he was a cool young one)

I worked in the colony, paying my dues

Accepting without question the prevailing views

That a young man's life was one long grind

Diggin' holes, standin' guard till it crossed my mind

I was wrong

All along

All that I needed

Was to have heeded

**Chorus:**

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 a problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

When I was a shallow youth

(When he was a shallow youth)

Cool calm reflection

I was never that good

I was a pawn in the game, I saw no trees for the wood

My future stretched behind me

I was over the hill

I put my best foot forward

But the other one stood still

Take my word

I have heard

All that I needed

Was to have heeded

*Repeat Chorus*
