Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice from "Disney Mania" album Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! When I was a cool young one (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 no 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 stood still Take my word I have heard All that I needed Is to have heeded (Chorus) Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! I hope we have conveyed You don't have to bust you out of 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)
