  • Pumbaa: No worries for the rest of your days.
  • Simba: Our problem-free philosophy.
  • Timon:

Yo, i'm Timon

I'm a meerkat from the ground

Spinning my tail

Whilst Pumbaa drops phat beats!

Real phat beats!'

  • Pumbaa: Phat phat beats.
  • Simba: Phat, beats.
  • Timon:

I've been digging on the ground for many years.

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

  • Pumbaa:

Pumbaa's here!

The one and only wart-hog

Don't make a fuss

You don't even want to mess with us

My rhymes are so tight that

I always excite

and if you don't believe me,

Hey go fly a kite!

And the 1, 2, 3 catch your out

No need to pout,

It's a wart-hog

You always know my rhymes are fabulous!

  • Simba:

Simba's in the house

Raised by the late king Mufasa

Fought my uncle Scar in my own home

Fight some hyenas and protect the pride

Got raised by a meerkat and warthog in the jungle

Show me a philosophy that means no worries

Ate some grubs, swing and shout

And met my childhood friend and fall in love

  • Timon: Can you feel the love tonight?
  • Pumbaa: Uh huh.
  • Timon: Show me what you're working with.
  • Pumbaa: Oh yeah.
  • Timon: Hit me like a gummy worm.
  • Pumbaa: Uh uh.
  • Timon: Throw me up high and make me fly.
  • Pumbaa: You said it! *throw Timon high in the sky*
  • Timon: *spin around in the sky* You never had a friend like me!
  • Pumbaa: Land on the ground!
  • Simba: You're gonna fall upset down!
  • Timon: Right! *land on Pumbaa* I made it! *land ground and continue singing*

I got my colony moving to the jungle

I learn how to dig from Old Fearless Buzz

Ma and Uncle Max are a well caring meerkat family

So does my father and my auntie

Went from making mistakes and saving my colony

I am a brave meerkat that my colony ever known

Push the tunnel and make the hyenas fall

Never more the hyenas come

  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Pumbaa: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Simba: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Pumbaa: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Simba: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: *spin around* Ah yeah!
  • Pumbaa:

I found my aroma lacked a certain appeal

Could clear the savanna after every meal

I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned

And it hurt, that my friends never stood downwind!

No one give a darn grub about me

People make fun of me and called me mister pig

I beat up the bullies and fought the predators

And found a place where I don't have to worry anymore

  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Pumbaa: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Simba: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Pumbaa: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: Everybody know me.
  • Simba: Everybody know him.
  • Timon: *he, Pumbaa and Simba walk backwards with a crab dance next to each other* Hakuna Matata. Yeah.
  • Pumbaa: It mean no worries.
  • Simbaa: For the rest of your lives.
  • Timon: And that's how you make a rap song.
  • Pumba and Simba: Uh huh!
  • Timon: Yeah! Jungle beats! Woo!

(Timon, Pumbaa and Simba finished their rap song as they chill out in the jungle for the rest of the day)

THE END

Trivia[]

  • The rap Timon, Pumbaa and Simba use to sing are based on Pat and Stan's rap songs from the two Pat and Stan shorts and "Toad is Cool" and "Toad Sucks!" from the SuperMarioLogan/SML video "Toad is Cool" in which the melody of these songs are used for the rap.
  • Timon shouting out in the sky "You never had a friend like me!" is a reference to "Friend Like Me", a song sung by Genie from Aladdin.
