Lyrics Transcribed by Lea Cook

Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata

A'ole Pilikia, A'ole Pilikia

When I was a cool young one, When he was a cool young one.

I went through the jungle had to pay my dues

Excepting the question of prevailing views.

The young man’s life was one long hard grind.

Deep hosts standing guard till it crossed my mind.

I was wrong, all along..

All that I needed was to have eated.

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means don’t worry
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 affections I was never that good

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

My future was 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 eated

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means don’t worry
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata...Hakuna Matata... Hakuna Matata...

Hakuna Matata!

I hope to have conveyed,

You don’t have to work too hard in the sun

It’s much cooler in the shade.

Some say it’s just a waste of time, but they don’t realize

To worry’s nothing but a crime, we are creatures worldly wise.

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means don’t worry
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata!

What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata...Hakuna Matata... Hakuna Matata...

Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means don’t worry
For the rest of your days
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
