Upendi (perf. by Robert Guillaume (Rafiki), Gene Miller (Kovu) and Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
There's a place where there's a crazy moon Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom Will carry you away
while the hippose swing from the jungle vines And rhino rumba in a conga line All the pink flamingos are intertwined As the stars come out to play
In Upendi Where the passion fruit grows sweet And its so divine That you'll lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it through Your heart will lead you there In Upendi In Upendi
You better watch your step Cause the path is steep You better hold your breath The water's deep It's a long way down off a Lover's leap But falling is half the fun
In Upendi Where the passion fruit grows sweet And its so divine that you'll lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it through Your heart will take you there
You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow From Tanganyika to Kilamanjaro But you'll find Upendi wherever you are Underneath the sun
In Upendi Where the passion fruit grows sweet And its so divine That you'll lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it through Your heart will take you there Upendi
