The Lion King Songtext
von University of Wisconsin Madhatters

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!

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
