With the fear of a child

Hakuna Matata
Hem hollolo iyo
Hakuna Matata!
Hem may'babo
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, standing guard till it crossed my mind
I was wrong
All wrong
All that I needed
Was to have heeded
Chorus:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing crase
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 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 wordly wise
(Repeat chorus to fade)

The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When i was a little boy
Full of life and pride
They look so peaceful

So sweet and graceful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
They're all so hopeful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you to to take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]
Sometimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay
To be peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And to be hopeful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
It's sweet and graceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

Warthog Rhapsody
Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no farther than Pumbaa here
Than this laid-back quadruped
Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
As long as you stand upwind
Your guide must be this rhapsody
Chorus:
I gets up when i likes
He's got it all worked out
I plans the day ahead
He's got it all worked out
When inspiration strikes
He's got it all worked out
I go right back to bed
He's got it all worked out
But though he may not be one of nature's dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Don't dismiss the warthog philosophy
Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out
Take it from me!
He's got it all worked out
Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place
More often than not it gets away
Who needs the thrill of the chase
Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log
Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
Hmmmmmmmmm
His attitude
Chorus:
It's bugs for every meal
I've got it all worked out
So full of vitamins
I've got it all worked out
No need to cook or peel
I've got it all worked out
He eats 'em in their skins
I've got it all worked out
They're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back
Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy
Take it from he
Take it from me
Take it from he
He's got it all worked out
So remember when you see us staring into space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality
Take it from he
Take it from me
Take it from he
Take it from we
We've got it all worked out
