When I was a cool young one (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
(Chorus) 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 no 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
Hakuna Matata! I hope we have conveyed You don´t have to bust you out of 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
