HAKUNA MATATA

[Sung to the tune of “Hakuna Matata”]

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!
Hakuna Matata?

Yeah. It’s our motto!

[What’s a motto?]

[Nothing. What’s a-motto with you?]

Those two words will solve all your problems

That’s right. Take Matata here
Why, when she was a young kitty cat...

When I was a young kitty cat

[Very nice]

[Thanks]

She found her aroma lacked a certain appeal
She could clear Atlanta to Savannah after every meal

I’m a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that Hakuna never stood downwind

And oh, the shame [She was ashamed]
Thought of changin’ my name [What’s in a name?]
And I got downhearted [How did ya feel?]
Everytime that I...

[Hey! Matata! Not in front of our Esteemed Readers!]

[Oh. Sorry...]

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain’t no passing craze

It means plenty of kibble 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 -]

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It’s our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
(Repeats)

I say “Hakuna”

I say “Matata”

[Matata, won’t you quit bitin’ on my ass?]
