lyrics

The Lion Eats Today
Or
The Other White Meat. And Dark Meat. And White Meat

Purida, Purida Kijinga, Purida
Purida, Purida Kijinga, Purida
See the Zebra, the foolish zebra, who’s wandered from the herd
See the Zebra, the tasty zebra, who’s wandered from the herd
Zamu, Zamu Ya Kitanmu no one hears him scream
Zamu, Zamu Ya Kitanmu no one hears him scream

Simba, Simba N’jaa , Simba
Simba, Simba hupiga, Simba

Lion running, lion pouncing, the lion makes his kill
Lion running, lion pouncing, the lion eats his fill
Simba, Simba N’jaa, Hungry belly cat
Simba, Simba hupiga , happy belly cat

Furaha, furaha ya simba , furaha
Furaha, furaha ya simba , furaha
Time for Leo to hit the bushes and then go take a nap
Time for Leo to hit the bushes and then go take a nap
Furaha, furaha ya simba the lion sleeps tonight
Furaha, furaha ya simba the lion sleeps tonight
Simba, Simba hulala (repeats)

Purida Kijinga- Foolish zebra
Zamu Ya Kitanmu- Tasty zebra
Simba N’jaa- Lion hungry
Simba hupiga- lion pounces
Furaha ya simba- Happy lion
Simba hulala- The lion sleeps tonight
