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 our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata!

Pumbaa: Yeah. It’s our motto!
Simba: What’s a motto?
Timon: Nothin’ what’s a motto with you?!
Pumbaa: Hakuna matata: These two words will solve all your problems.
