Lyrics
In the jungle
The quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle
The mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Aween away aween away aween away...
In the village
The quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
In the village
The quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
Aween away aween away aween away...
Hush my darling
Don't cry my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling
Don't cry my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
