Ee-e-e-oh-mum-a-weh

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

In the jungle, the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle, the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

Near the village, the peaceful village

The lion sleeps tonight

Near the village, the quiet village

The lion sleeps tonight

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

Hush my darling, don't fear my darling

The lion sleeps tonight

Hush my darling, don't cry my darling

The lion sleeps tonight

Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh

Ee-e-e-oh-mum-a-weh
