"Papaya and Weasel" is the conjectural title of a song that Solo sings about his new "friends" on the island, a pig/hog and a weasel. In some ways, it is a parody of the song "Hakuna Matata" from Walt Disney Animation's 32nd animated film The Lion King.
Lyrics
- [Solo]
- Papaya and Weasel, that's the name of these guys
- The pig and the weasel who helped me realize
- That being lazy is the best thing to do
- That's their point of view, and I like it, too
- Nothing's too important when you throw away your cares
- Papaya and Weasel
- Niblet: Those guys are creepy-looking, but I kind of like their philosophy.
- Squirt: Me too! Tell us more, Solo.
- [Solo]
- Papaya and Weasel, I just met 'em today
- They're a pig and a weasel, but I can understand everything they say
- He sleeps in a hammock, squandering most the day
- This guy belches and
- Papaya: [belches]
- Digs in the sand
- Papaya
- [Niblet and Squirt]
- Papaya
- [Solo]
- And Weasel
- [Niblet and Squirt]
- And Weasel
- [Solo]
- Papaya
- [Niblet and Squirt]
- Papaya
- [Solo]
- And Weasel
- [Niblet and Squirt]
- And Weasel
- [Solo]
- It's me,
- [Solo, Niblet, and Squirt]
- Papaya, and Weasel!
Trivia
- Niblet's line about liking their philosophy is a reference to the song "Hakuna Matata", where one line of the lyrics is "It's our problem-free philosophy, Hakuna Matata."
