Lyrics

We-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de de, we-um-um-a-way

We-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de de, we-um-um-a-way

A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh

A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh

A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh

A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a wimoweh

In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight

(repeat Wimoweh chorus--with vocal ad lib similar to the intro in the

Foreground)

Near the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight

Near the village the quiet village the lion sleeps tonight

(repeat wimoweh chorus)

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

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

(repeat wimoweh chorus with vocal ad lib)
