Jambo Watoto Karibu,
Jambo Watoto Karibu  
(Hello children welcome)

One day in the jungle -- (repeat),
A big lion took a nap -- (repeat)
He went sh, sh, sh -- (repeat),
He was a big tired cat -- (repeat)

Then tip, tip, tip -- (repeat), a little mouse tip-toed...

Jambo Watoto Karibu,
Jambo Watoto Karibu  

The lion laughed so much -- (repeat), he let the little mouse free...

The mouse heard a thwap -- (repeat), so he ran, ran and looked...

Now, I understand -- (repeat),
It’s not how big or small you are -- (repeat)
That makes a good friend -- (repeat)

Jambo Watoto Karibu,
Jambo Watoto Karibu
