The Lyrics
i'd keep a close watch on that beast, divine
his peepin' eyes ain't open at this time
but you must look out, cause on guys, he dines
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
i find it very peaceful in the village, true
i guess that cat must have slept the whole night through
there'd be screams if he came after you
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
if you must embark into the night
you must be on guard with all of your might
your sloppiness could cost your precious life
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
they'll roam your way, so stealthily, they'll glide
next thing you know, there's one right by your side
and if you go, you cannot match their stride
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
i'd keep a close watch on that beast, divine
his peepin' eyes ain't open at this time
but you must look out, cause on guys, he dines
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
his peepin' eyes ain't open at this time
but you must look out, cause on guys, he dines
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
i find it very peaceful in the village, true
i guess that cat must have slept the whole night through
there'd be screams if he came after you
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
if you must embark into the night
you must be on guard with all of your might
your sloppiness could cost your precious life
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
they'll roam your way, so stealthily, they'll glide
next thing you know, there's one right by your side
and if you go, you cannot match their stride
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?
i'd keep a close watch on that beast, divine
his peepin' eyes ain't open at this time
but you must look out, cause on guys, he dines
you lost your mind ?
why wake that lion ?

Veldt ghoul, meet Surfer ghoul.
Hold that lion! One has to have a very open mind to sing "Lion" as one syllable...so on that point, it still works.
Clever switcheroo, here..
absolutely agree wholeheartedly, alvin - I've made a point all my life of never waking lions, and I'm highly unlikely to start now - 555
Purrrrrfect smoosh, Alvin. 555
