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 till it crossed my mind |
|
I was wrong |
|
All along |
|
All that I needed |
|
Was to have heeded |
|
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 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! |
|
Ain't no passing craze |
|
It means no worries |
|
For the rest of your days |
|
It's a problem-free philosophy |
|
Hakuna Matata! |
|
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 worldly wise |
|
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! |
