That’s All I Need Lyrics
“Scurry. Sniff. Flinch.” (X2)
(The music starts to play)
“I like the sound of that”
“Scurry! Sniff! Flinch!” (X4)
There’s more to life than panic
And bein’ some other guy’s snack (Ugh!)
I may be delicious, organic
But this little entree’s fightin’ 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 meerkats are not merely food!
For once, I’ll be
Lookin’ out for me
Yeah!
I’ll tell you what I want
This ‘kat is moving on
He’s a 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 stream
Many miles from any tunnel
And the digging team
Looking out for 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 to show
(The music begins to stop)
I’ve always been seen as the ultimate prey
But now my status ain’t so quo
A dream sublime
It’s hyena ti—!
Only Soundtrack Version
[It’s Timon-o-rama time!
I’ve never been the type
(You’ll have a perfect home)
To fall for all that hype
(Where no hyenas roam)
About the meerkat role
(Where it’s a shoe-in cinch)
In some organic hole
(Where you don’t have to flinch)
And all that circle rot
(And stand on guard as if)
Is just a cunning plot
(You’ve mastered scratch ‘n sniff)
For coming to the crunch
(A fantasy sublime)
I ain’t nobody’s lunch
(Timon-o-rama time)
This isn’t for the birds, it isn’t monkeyshine
I ain’t asking for a lot, but what is mine is mine
You never want to argue with a chorus line
That’s all I need
(That is all he needs)
Whoa whoa, I beg and plead!
(Whoa, I beg and plead)
That
Is
All
IIIIIIII neeeeeeeed
All I need!!]
