Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)

(Luigi Creatore, Huyo Peretti, George Weiss/ published by Abilene Music Inc.)

The kids like to lie down and “go to sleep” during the quiet parts and then jump up to dance on “Wimoweh.” 

In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
The lion sleeps tonight
Wimoweh!

In the village, the peaceful village,
The lion sleeps tonight
In the village, the peaceful village,
The lion sleeps tonight
Wimoweh!

Hush my darling, don’t cry my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don’t cry my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight
Wimoweh!

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