Leo The Lion Lyrics
Leo the lion is the king of the jungle
and his jaws are big and wide.
Leo the lion when he roars it 's a warning
that you'd better run away and hide.
So run, run as fast as you can,
'cos Leo is the leader of his clan.
He wears a proud mane of hair,
look into his eyes if you dare!
Terrence the tiger proudly prowls
through the jungle with his mighty
powerful paws.
Terrence the tiger when he pounces
it's a warning that you 'd better run
away and hide.
So run, run as fast as you can,
'cos Terrence always has a clever plan.
He wears a majestic set of stripes,
look into his eyes if you dare.
So run, run as fast as you can!
