[Chorus: Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It ain't no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
[Interlude: JD McCrary, Seth Rogen, & Billy Eichner]
Hakuna matata?
Yeah, it's our motto
What's a motto?
Nothin', what's the motto with you?
Ace! Boom!
Those two words will solve all your problems
Yeah, take Pumbaa, here
[Verse: Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
How you feelin'? It's an emotional story
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul although I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
I was here for you, and I resent that
And, oh, the shame!
Yes, he was ashamed
I thought of changing my name!
I mean, to what? "Brad"?
And I got downhearted
Every time that I farted... are you gonna stop me?
No, I'm not. You disgust me!
[Chorus: Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, JD McCrary, Seth Rogen, All]
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It 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
[Bridge: Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
[Chorus: Donald Glover, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, All]
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata! (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, yeah (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, oh, ah (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
(Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
It means no worries for the rest of your days
(Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
(Hakuna matata, hakuna)
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
[Outro: Donald Glover, Billy Eichner, & Seth Rogen]
One more time
Oh, no, I think we did it (I think we got this one)
But we're just getting in the groove
No, let's leave 'em wanting more
Yeah, you've grown 400 pounds since we started
Meanwhile, I look exactly the same
It means no worries, oh, yeah
Will you tell him to stop
Well, you insisted we sing this song
I insisted you started singing it!
It's our signature song, we shouldn't be sharing it!
But it's our signature song so we have to-
Look, just tell him to stop
It means no worries, ah, oh
Oh, now he's riffing, Pumbaa, this is a nightmare
It actually is kinda getting better
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It ain't no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
