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, standin' guard 'til it crossed my mind
 
I was wrong, all along
All that I needed was to have heeded
 
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase, hmm
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 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
 
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
It ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days, no, no
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata
 
Hakuna Matata (hem hollolo iyo)
Hakuna Matata (well)
Hakuna Matata (hem hollolo iyo)
Hakuna Matata (may'babo)
 
Hakuna
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 worldly wise
 
Hakuna Matata (ha, yeah)
What a wonderful phrase, yes
Hakuna Matata
It ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days (whoa, no)
It's a problem-free philosophy (oh)
Hakuna Matata
