Verse

D* A* E*
Why, when he was a young warthog...

Pumba:

D* A* E*
When I was a young warthog

Timon:

N.C.
How you feelin'?

Pumbaa:

N.C.
I'ts an emotional story

Timon:

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal

Pumbaa:

G* A* E*
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
G* A* B*
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind [Timon: I was always there for you and I resend that]
E*
And oh, the shame [Timon: Yes, he was ashamed]
B*
Thought of changin' my name [Timon: I mean to what? Brad?]
G*
And I got downhearted
N.C.
Everytime that I farted
N.C.
Are you gonna stop me?

Timon:

N.C.
No, I'm not, you disgust me!

Chorus

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase!

It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Simba:

It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata! (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, yeah (hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, oh ah (hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
It means no worries for the rest of your days (hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
It's our problem-free philosophy
