The Lion King - Lyrics and Video to Hakuna Matata
We should all try to live the hakuna matata lifestyle...
The most charming song in the 1994's beloved The Lion King is where Pumbaa, Timon, and Simba sing Hakuna Matata. Which means, as the meerkat and wildebeast cheerfully describe, "No worries." A good philosophy...can you watch this scene without smiling?
It's pleasant, funny, and even meaningful -- remember the iconic moment where the three friends walk across a log, signaling the passage of time as Simba grows from cub to adult lion? (Sniff. Awww.)
Something you probably didn't know is that Elton John was one of the songwriters for this sweet little film little interlude. We can only hope Hakuna Matata is included in the rebooted "live action" (actually CGI) Lion King movie, out this summer in 2019.
Note: Hakuna Matata's got...farting and belching jokes. A little risque for 1990s Disney, but it underlies the underdog and acceptance theme well. We would all be lucky to have accepting, affectionate friends like Pumbaa and Timone. We should also try to adopt a certain No Worries mind-set in such troublesome times. We'd all be a lot happier and nicer to each other. :-)

Lyrics to The Lion King's Hakuna Matata
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!
Why, when he was a young warthog When I was a young wart-hoooog! Very nice! Thanks! He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal He could clear the Savannah after every meal I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind And oh, the shame (He was ashamed!) Thought of changin' my name (Oh, what's in a name?) And I got downhearted (How did you feel?) Every time that I- Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids! Oh... sorry
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze It means no worries For the rest of your days Yeah, sing it, kid! It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata Hakuna Matata Hakuna Matata
Hakuna It means no worries For the rest of your days It's our problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata...
