A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight (ho, ho)
Wee-hee-hee-hee (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)

Wee-oh aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight (hey, hey)
Wee-hee-hee-hee (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Wee-oh aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling
The lion sleeps tonight (ho, ho)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Whoa, whoa, aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
