There's more to life than panic,
and being some other guys snack.
I may be delicious, organic,
but this little entree's fighting back.
I'm gonna put diggin' tunnels behind me,
and live at a new altitude.
I'm gonna reach for the stars to remind me,
that meerkats are not merely food!
For once I'll be,
looking out for me.
I'll tell you what I want,
this cat is moving on.
Where he's a bonlibonte,
who's missing out on the bone.
I'd be a bigger cheese,
far from the desert scenes.
A little booling breeze.
A little patch of green.
And I'll be sitting in my hammock,
by a rippling stream.
Many miles from any tunnels,
or the digging team.
Looking out for number one,
will be my only greed.
That's all I need,
That's all I need!
I've always been good at running away,
but now I'm gonna run to show.
I've always been seen as the ultimate prey,
But now my status ain't so quo.
My dreams alive,
Now if you want a role model
Of a life most blissfully led
Then look no further than Pumbaa here
Then 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
(Chorus)
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 philosphy
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
Hmmmmmmmmm
His attitude
(Chorus)
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
The'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
Lion. Said a lion, poor, neurotic lion. To a miss who'll listen to him rave. Oh, the lord made me a lion, but
the lord forgot to make me brave.
Dorothy. Then his tail began to curl and wave.
Lion. Life
is
sad believe me, Missy, when you're born to be a sissy without the vim and verve. But I could change my habits never more be scared of RABBITS! if I only had the nerve. I'm afraid there's no denying I'm Just a dandelion, a fate I don't deserve. But I could show my prowess be a lion not a mouse if I only had the nerve. Oh, I'd be in my stride, a king down to the core, I could roar the way I never roared before, and then I'd r-r-roof and roar some more. I would show the dinosaurus whose king around the forest a king they'd better serve, why with my regal beezor I could be another Caesar, if I only had the nerve. I'd be brave as a blizzard.
Tin Man. I'd be gentle as a lizard.
Scarecrow. I'd be clever as a gizzard.
Dorothy. If the wizard is a wizard who will serve.
Scarecrow. Then I'm sure to get a brain.
Tin Man. A heart.
Dorothy. A home.
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since well the number one
Listen up, it gets worse
No, is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
It's just no good any more, babe, since you went away
And now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
All my troubles seem so far away
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you will ever do
Yes, one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
One is the loneliest number, one is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever, ever, ever, ever do
Well, I'm not kidding you
Aw I am so depressed, I need a nap and a good therapist
Don't you hate to eat alone? Bitter party of one?
