I can see what's happened What? And they don't have a clue Who? They fall in love and heres the bottom line Our trio's down to two Oh The sweet caress of twilight There's magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things Gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware! I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my roar (Thus far a rather uninspiring thing) Oh, I just can't wait to be king! No one saying do this (Now when I said that) No one saying be there (What I meant was) No one saying stop that (What you don't realize) No one saying see here (Now see here) Free to run around all day (That's definitely out) Free to do it all my way! It means no worries for the rest of your days It's our problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata? Yeah. It's our motto! What's a motto? Nothing. What's a-motto with you? Those two words will solve all your problems That's right. Take Pumbaa here for example Why, when he was a young warthog... When I was a young wart hog 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 Oh and it hurt that my friends never stood downwind And oh, the shame (He was ashamed) Thought of changin' my name (What's in a name?) And I got downhearted (How did ya feel?) Everytime that I... 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 It's our problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata! So prepare for the coup of the century (Oooh!) Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh... La! La! La!) Meticulous planning (We'll have food!) Tenacity spanning (Lots of food) Decades of denial (We repeat) Is simply why I'll (Endless meat) Be king undisputed (Aaaaaaah...) Respected, saluted (...aaaaaaah...) And seen for the wonder I am (...aaaaaaah!) Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared (Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo) Be prepared! Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done In the Circle of Life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle The Circle of Life
