In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.
Near the village, the peaceful 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.
