CHORUS:

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

CHORUS

Near the village the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight

CHORUS

Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight

Ms.Gina Hoffnman's class will perform on stage at SSD's Neuwoehner High School with home made props (above) made from reclaimed cardboard stock from Aldi's market, paint stir sticks, cut paper, Elmer's School Glue and Magic Marker. The Talent Show on March 15 will be the fourth or fifth time I have been the official impressario of this annual production. 

It's still early for sign ups but already we have, in addition to Hoffman's Class, tentative performances by Linda Hofeditz's class (featuring What a Wonderful World by L Armstrong), Pat Kohn's Class (La Cucaracha by Daria), Malinski's class (Dave Clark Five - Glad All Over). The Theme for the Show: The World Awaits.
