Template:Song Infobox That's All I Need is a song from The Lion King 1½ sung by Timon who wishes to have more in life than dig tunnels while on sentry duty for his colony.
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 |
I've always been seen as the ultimate prey |
But now my status ain't so quo |
A dream sublime |
It's Hyena ti---! |
