The Tokens The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) Lyrics:
Wee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee, dee wee dum um away.
Wee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee, dee wee dum um away.
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.

[Sung concurrently:]
Wee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee, dee wee dum um away.
Wee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee, dee wee dum um away.
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.

Near the village the peaceful village,
The lion sleeps tonight.
Near the village the quiet village,
The lion sleeps tonight.

[Sung concurrently:]
Wee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee, dee wee dum um away.
