The Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics

Whee-hee-hee-hee, whee-hee-hee-hee, a-we-um Mbube (x2)

Pumbaa: A-weema-weh, a-weema, a-weema…
Chorus: A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh (x4)
(repeats)
 Whee-hee-hee-hee, a-we-um Mbube

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

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

Simba: Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa!
Whoa, I’m on my way!

Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling…
Pumbaa: Don’t fear my darling!
The lion sleeps tonight! (Hey, hey!)

Simba: Whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa!
Whoa, I’m on my way!
I’m on my way! I’m on my way!

 Whee-hee-hee-hee, whee-hee-hee-hee, a-we-um Mbube…
