"Hakuna Fermata. It means keep playing for the rest…

“Hakuna Fermata. It means keep playing for the rest of your days” is a jocular music saying that has been printed on many images. “Hakuna matata” is Swahili for “no worries.” The song “Hakuna Matata” was in the Disney animated movie The Lion King (1995).

“Fermata” is also known as a hold, pause, colloquially a birdseye or cyclops eye, or as a grand pause. “Hakuna fermata… It means keep playing” was posted on Twitter by Trinia Medrano on October 10, 2013. “Hakuna Fermata It means keep playing for the rest of your days” was posted on Twitter by BandKid on April 10, 2014.

Other “Hakuna matata” jokes include “Hakuna Ma’Coffee. It means no worries. I’ll just drink coffee for the rest of the day,” “Hakuna Ma’Vodka. It means no memories,” “Hakuna Mimosa. It means it’s brunchtime” and “Hakuna Moscato. It means drink wine.” “What did Simba (The Lion King) order for brunch?”/“A tuna frittata” is a related joke.

Wikipedia: Hakuna matata
“Hakuna matata” is a Swahili phrase; translated, it roughly means “No worries”. It is formed by the words hakuna (there is not here) and matata (plural form of problem). The phrase has been popularized by its use in The Lion King (in which it is translated as “no worries” in a song named after the phrase), so that it is heard often at resorts, hotels, and other places appealing to the tourist trade. The phrase is in more common use in Zanzibar and Kenya. The phrase is uncommon among native speakers of Swahili in Tanzania, who prefer the phrase “hamna shida” in the north and “hamna tabu” in the south.

Wikipedia: Fermata
A fermata (Italian: [ferˈmaːta]; “from fermare, to stay, or stop”; also known as a hold, pause, colloquially a birdseye or cyclops eye, or as a grand pause when placed on a note or a rest) is a symbol of musical notation indicating that the note should be prolonged beyond the normal duration its note value would indicate. Exactly how much longer it is held is up to the discretion of the performer or conductor, but twice as long is common. It is usually printed above but can be occasionally below (when it is upside down) the note to be extended.

I saw a shirt saying, “Hakuna Fermata: it means keep playing for the rest of your days!” My inner trombonist saw it and thought, “Nap time!”
