Lyrics
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
