Who lives down in deepest darkest Africa? (Africa) Who's the one who brought the jungle fame? Who's the king of Animals in Africa? Kimba the white lion is his name!

When we get in trouble and we're in a fight Who's the one who just won't turn and run? Who believes in doing good and doing right? Kimba the white lion is the one!

He's the greatest leader, there's no doubt of it. He's the one we count on night and day. When there's danger he can get us out of it-- Kimba the white lion leads the way!
