"Hakuna Matata" is a song from Disney's 1994 animated feature The Lion King. The song is based on Timon and Pumbaa's catchphrase "Hakuna matata" in the movie, which means "No worries" in Swahili.

Part of this song can be heard briefly in Toy Story in which it was played in Andy's mom's car while Molly sees Woody and Buzz through one of the rearview side mirrors.

Lyrics[]

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...
