"That's All I Need" was released on February 10, 2004, as part of the soundtrack of The Lion King 1½: Songs From Timon and Pumbaa's Hilarious Adventure.[1]
Use[]
"That's All I Need" is the second song heard in The Lion King 1½. It starts as Timon attempts to scurry, sniff, and flinch once his uncle, Max, was gone. However, while doing so, he begins to fantasize about his dream home and having more in life than digging tunnels. As he's singing, he fails to notice Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed sneaking up on him. Before long, the three hyenas have him surrounded, and Shenzi claps sarcastically at the end of his performance.[2]
Lyrics[]
Timon:
There's more to life than panic
And bein' some other guy's snack
I may be delicious, organic
But this little entrée'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
Yeah!
I'll tell you what I want
This kat is moving on
Where he's a bon vivant
Who's missing 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 stream
Many miles from any tunnels
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
But now I'm gonna run the show, oh
I've always been seen as the ultimate prey
But now my status ain't so quo
A dream sublime
It's hyena ti-
