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

Near the village the peaceful village

Near the village the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
