Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M. - Hakuna Matata

[ Featuring Lebo M. ]

Hakuna Matata (hem hollolo iyo)
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata (hem hollolo iyo)
Hakuna Matata (may'babo)
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata

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
Wow

Hm, wow

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

Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase, yeah
Hakuna Matata
It ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days, yes
It's a problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata

Whoa, nah
What a wonderful phrase, yes
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days, well (no worries)
It's a problem-free philosophy

Lebo M - It's Time

The sun is shining
The children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me
When I was a little boy
Full of life and pride

They look so peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
So sweet and graceful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
They're all so hopeful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

(Chorus)
It's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And this is meant to be your day
Shine
Ithabise [Celebrate]
And in your heart you'll know it's time
Ithabise [Celebrate]
For you take your place
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Somtimes I wonder
Why people always seem
To turn around
And lose their way
Look out your window
Be grateful for this day
And make a change
It's okay

To be peaceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itumele [My brother, be happy]
And to be hopeful
Ngwana weso bo' ithabise [My sister, celebrate]
It's sweet and graceful
Moshanyana weso bo' itmuele [My brother, be happy]
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting

(Chorus)

Tsatsi lahao [Your day]
Lefihlile [Has come]
Ithabise [Celebrate]
Ithabise [Celebrate]

Ithabise [Celebrate]

Nathan Lane - Warthog Rhapsody

[ Featuring Ernie Sabella ]

Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa here
Than this laid-back quadruped

Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame

As long as you stand upwind

Your guide must be this rhapsody

I gets up when I likes

He's got it all worked out

I plans the day ahead

He's got it all worked out

When inspiration strikes

He's got it all worked out

I go right back to bed

He's got it all worked out

But though he may not be one of nature's dynamos
His mind is on the ball and far from comatose
Don't dismiss the warthog philosophy

Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out

Take it from me!

He's got it all worked out

Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place

More often than not it gets away

Who needs the thrill of the chase?

Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log

Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food

Hm

His attitude
It's bugs for every meal

I've got it all worked out

So full of vitamins

I've got it all worked out

No need to cook or peel

I've got it all worked out

He eats 'em in their skins

I've got it all worked out

They're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back

Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy
Take it from he

Take it from me

Take it from he
He's got it all worked out

So remember when you see us staring into space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality

Take it from he

Take it from me

Take it from he
Take it from we
We've got it all worked out

Rhythm of the Pride Lands is an audio CD released on February 28, 1995, by Walt Disney Records, a "sequel" to the original motion picture soundtrack of the animated film The Lion King (1994). Most of the tracks were composed by Lebo M, Jay Rifkin, and Hans Zimmer and focused primarily on the African influences of the film's original music, with most songs being sung either partially or entirely in various African languages.

The CD was originally an independent project developed by Rifkin and Lebo M and included songs and performances inspired by, but not featured in the film. As the project developed, Walt Disney Records came on board and supported the project as then-newly appointed senior vice president Carolyn Mayer Beug sought to expand Disney Records' foray into adult contemporary music.

Several songs featured on the album would later have incarnations in other The Lion King-oriented projects, inspiring Julie Taymor's stage musical and the direct-to-video sequels, such as "He Lives in You". For example, the songs "Lea Halalela (Holy Land)" and "Lala" were adapted into, respectively, "Shadowland", and "Endless Night" for the stage musical adaptation. "Warthog Rhapsody", which delved deeper into Pumbaa's origins, was originally recorded to be included in the movie, but was replaced with "Hakuna Matata". The song was later reworked with new lyrics into the song "That's All I Need" for The Lion King 1½ (2004).

Rhythm of the Pride Lands was initially printed in a very limited quantity. Today, it is available digitally through the iTunes Store.
