Lions sleep in the daytime. And they don’t do it in the jungle, however mighty — they live on the savannahs. The words of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” are not the finest work of lyricist George Weiss. In 1961, he was tasked with writing English lyrics for an African song, a lullaby dreamt up by some nameless hunter and passed down through y5nCc.
