Warthog Rhapsody

Originalmusik: Elton John
Originaltext: Tim Rice

[Timon:]
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
[Pumbaa:]
Relaxation's the name of the game
Be cool and be thick-skinned
Let my lifestyle be your reference frame
[Timon:]
As long as you stand upwind
[Båda:]
Your guide must be this rhapsody

[Pumbaa:]
I gets up when I likes
[Timon:]
He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa:]
I plans the day ahead
[Timon:]
He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa:]
When inspiration strikes
[Timon:]
He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa:]
I go right back to bed
[Timon:]
He's got it all worked out

[Timon:]
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

[Timon:]
Take it from he!
He's got it all worked out
[Pumbaa:]
Take it from me!
He's got it all worked out

[Timon:]
Now who wants to be a hunter
Chasing food all over the place
[Pumbaa:]
More often than not it gets away
[Timon:]
Who needs the thrill of the chase?
[Pumbaa:]
Why move mountains to get your chow
When you only need to move a log
[Timon:]
Make it your dietary resolve for now
To eat like the old warthog
Regarding food
His attitude

(Chorus)
[Timon:]
It's bugs for every meal
[Pumbaa:]
I've got it all worked out
[Timon:]
So full of vitamins
[Pumbaa:]
I've got it all worked out
[Timon:]
No need to cook or peel
[Pumbaa:]
I've got it all worked out
[Timon:]
He eats 'em in their skins
[Pumbaa:]
I've got it all worked out

[Båda:]
The're delectable, available, the perfect snack
They ain't endangered species
And they don't fight back
[Timon:]
Don't dismiss the warthog gastronomy

[Timon:]
Take it from he
[Pumbaa:]
Take it from me
[Timon:]
Take it from he
He's got it all worked out

[Båda:]
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
[Timon:]
Take it from he
[Pumbaa:]
Take it from me
[Timon:]
Take it from he
[Pumbaa:]
Take it from we
[Båda:]
We've got it all worked out
