Lion Sleeps Tonight

Lebohang "Lebo M." Morake (born 20 May 1964) is a South African producer and composer. He arranged and performed music for The Lion King movies and stage productions. He was recommended to Disney by Hans Zimmer, the score composer of The Lion King, and was later hired to form and conduct the African choir that sang for the movies. His voice is the first voice heard in the beginning of the film, singing a chant over the opening sequence which is often considered synonymous with the film's image in popular culture. He also contributed to the sequel to the film's soundtrack, Rhythm of the Pride Lands, and the film's direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. more »

They let the family say

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
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight

But we'll sing it when we say, oh yeah
Let us play

Now hear me
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight, hey, whoa

Ooh, yeah, the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion sleeps tonight
Say the lion, say the lion, say the lion, oh yeah
Sleeps tonight
