The Lion Sleeps Tonight   (Chicago Country 38 )   Jack Berg

OPENER (Four measure intro 16 count)



Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Get on home and give your man a swing
Join your hands and circle right my friends
Left allemande and weave the ring
In the jungle, the mighty jungle

Dosado and promenade tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
Hey! Hey! Hey! (Three heys on the beat)

FIGURES 1 and 2



Heads Promenade about halfway 'round
Walk in do a right and left thru, turn the girl you found
Square thru four hands around that old ring
Dosado once around I sing
Swing thru, boys trade, turn thru and go square thru five hands tonight
Allemande, come back and promen-o
In the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight

MIDDLE BREAK

Four ladies chain back

In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight Hey! Hey! Hey!

Swing thru, boys trade, trun thru

Hush my darlin', don't fear my darlin'

Hush my darlin', don't fear my darlin', the lion sleeps tonight
