Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata! (6x)

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

(CHORUS)

Hem hollolo iyo

Hakuna Matata!

Hem may'babo

Hakuna Matata!

I hope we have conveyed

You don't have to bust

A gut in the sun

It's much cooler in the shade

Some say it's just a waste of time

But they don't realize

That view is nothing but a crime

We are creatures worldly wise

(CHORUS) (3x)
