That's All I Need

[Timon:]
Scurry, sniff, flinch.
Scurry, sniff, flinch.
Scurry, sniff, flinch.
Scurry, sniff, flinch.

There’s more to life than panic
And bein’ some other guy’s snack, yuck
I may be delicious organic
But this little entrée’s fighting back
I’m gonna put digging tunnels behind me
And live at a new altitude
I’m gonna reach for the stars to remind me
That meerkat’s are not merely food
For once I’ll be
Lookin’ out for me
Yeah, I’ll tell you what I want
This cat is movin’ on
But he’s bon vivant who’s missin’ out on bon
I’d be a bigger cheese far from the desert scene
A little cooling breeze, a little patch of green
And I’ll be snoozing in my hammock
By a rippling steam
Many miles from any tunnel and the digging team
Looking after number one will be my only creed
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
I’ve always been good at running away
Well, now I’m gonna run the show
I’ve always been seen as the ultimate prey
But now my status ain’t so quo
A dream sublime
It’s hyena time--
