Pumbaa: It's over all ready?
The lyrics in MJM's song One Dance are actually a mashup of the song's original lyrics with the dialogue of the characters from Disney's The Lion King. The part in question in these lyrics is based on a scene where Timon and Pumbaa, two of the main characters in the movie, are teaching Simba, the main character, about their philosophy of life, summed up in the phrase "Hakuna Matata."
In the song, the phrase "Quick before the hyena come" is a warning to keep moving and working hard, referring to the danger of hyenas in the movie. The other lyrics, "All we do is dig, so we can hide-hide so we can dig-dig!" and "Digga Tunnah is what we do/Life's a tunnah we dig it through" reflect Timon and Pumbaa's lifestyle of digging for bugs to eat and their outlook on life that one must work hard to survive.
The song's chorus, "Diggah Tunnah, Dig digga tunnah/Keepa digga never get done-a/Quick before the hyena come," emphasizes the importance of working quickly and efficiently to avoid danger or failure.
Overall, the use of these lyrics from The Lion King adds a playful and upbeat tone to the song, making it a fun and nostalgic tribute to the classic Disney movie.
