Lyrics[]
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon/Pumbaa: No doubt about it
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon/Pumbaa: Can't do without it
Pumbaa: It's really so important that you almost have to shout it
You gotta get safety smart (Timon: Oh yeah!)
You gotta get safety smart (Timon: That means you!)
You gotta get safety
Gotta get safety
Timon/Pumbaa: Gotta get safety smart (Timon: Oh yeah!)
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon/Pumbaa: That's me and you now
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon: So much to do now
Pumbaa: We'll put our heads together
Timon: And have a quick review now
Timon/Pumbaa: And then we'll be safety smart
Pumbaa: Cords underneath the rug are what you've got?
Timon: You better get them out of there before they get too hot!
Pumbaa: And if a cord is frayed on a lamp or clock
Timon: Have a grown-up throw it out, 'cause it could spark and shock!
Pumbaa: If you're wild about safety like Timon and me
Timon: No more than two plugs is your philosophy
Pumbaa: And a safety smart family would understand
Timon: An escape plan is a thing you gotta have on hand
Pumbaa: A heater by the bedside?
No, no, no!
Timon: Think about our favorite song?
Righty, oh, oh, oh!
Timon/Pumbaa: Three feet from the heat, hey!
Three feet from the heat, ho!
Hey, ho, hey, ho
How about another chorus before we go?
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon: That's what we'll be now!
Pumbaa: Safety smart
Timon: Yes, yes, siree, now!
Pumbaa: Another thing to think about
Timon: Or two or three
Pumbaa: Get a smoke alarm and keep your stairways clutter-free
Timon: Know your name, address and phone
Pumbaa: And like Timon and me
You're gonna get safety smart (Timon: Oh yeah!)
You gotta get safety smart (Timon: Real smart!)
You gotta get safety
Timon: Gotta get safety
Timon/Pumbaa: Gotta get safety smart (Timon: Oh yeah!)
Trivia[]
