The Lion Sleeps Tonight

WRITTEN BY HUGO PERETTI, LUIGI CREATORE, GEORGE DAVID WEISS, & ALBERT STANTON

Yee-d-dee-d...
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, repeat in background

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

Yee-yee-d-dee-d, a-wee-umbum-bawhey

Near the village the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight

Yee-yee-d-dee-d, a-wee-umbum-bawhey

(Female Interlude - Mary)

Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling

Woah oh ooh, woah oh ooh..

Yee-d-dee-d...
