The Lion Sleeps Tonight
They let the family say
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
Near the village, the peaceful village
Near the village, the quiet village
But we'll sing it when we say, oh yeah
Let us play
Now hear me
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight, hey, whoa
Ooh, yeah, the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion, oh yeah
Sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
Near the village, the peaceful village
Near the village, the quiet village
But we'll sing it when we say, oh yeah
Let us play
Now hear me
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight, hey, whoa
Ooh, yeah, the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion, oh yeah
Sleeps tonight
