Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
But though we 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 me, he's got it all worked out
Take it from me
He's got it all worked out
[Verse 5]
I'm starved
Me too, what's for lunch?
Glad you asked, kid, should we tell him, Pumbaa?
Uh-huh
Now listen to this, this is the important part
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
Make it your dietary resolve from now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
Mmm, mmm
His attitude
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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 me
Take it from me
Take it from me
He's got it all worked out
[Verse 10]
Come on, kid, it's now or never, hit it, Pumbaa
[Verse 11]
So remember when you see us staring into a space
We're caught between a pillow and a soft, soft place
Don't resist the warthog mentality
Take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me
We've got it all worked out
