The English lyrics were added in 1961 for the recording by the Tokens.

This song was originally titled, ‘Mbube’ (Zulu for lion) and was written and performed by Solomon Linda, who was a cleaner and record packer for a record company. The Lion Sleeps Tonight in C with ukulele chord diagrams The Lion Sleeps Tonight in A with ukulele chord diagrams C would be the easiest key for piano players, and it doesn’t matter for the ukulele players as everything is easy on the ukulele! We will be playing it in the key of A because I have a couple of new guitarists, and I find that A, D and E are the easiest three chord trick. Moreover, it’s such an enjoyable tune to sing, everyone likes it, and one half of the crowd can sing ‘wimoweh’ while the others sing the ‘ooh’s. It never changes, so people can relax and sing without spending all their brain power on the chord changes. The beauty of this song is that not only does it contain only three chords, it has the same four bar structure repeated throughout. For a sing along number I’m planning on doing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. My next Big Fat Music Party is coming up, where all my students get together and play.
