Lennie

(This is the story, the story of a little baby leopard)
His name is Lennie
(Lennie the leopard)
His name is Lennie, Lennie the leopard

(Lost and lonely, little Lennie ran through the veld and through the bush as fast as he could)
Lennie felt so lost and scared
Scared and hungry
Hungry and cold
Cold and wet

Who's gonna help little Lennie? (Ooh Shay'amanzi)
Who's gonna save little Lennie? (Ooh Shay'amanzi)
Who's gonna help little Lennie find his way home?
(Shay'amanzi ho shay'amanzi ke I know that)

(Just when Lennie thought all was lost, he heard some strange and new sound)
(What can it be wondered little Lennie?)
(Is it good, is it bad or is it food, oh boy I'll be so glad)

It was raining so hard and Lennie the leopard was lost and scared (Mhhm)
Scared and hungry
Hungry and cold
Cold and wet

Who's gonna help little Lennie? (Ooh Shay'amanzi)
Who's gonna save little Lennie? (Ooh Shay'amanzi)
Who's gonna help little Lennie find his way home?
(Ohh kea ho rata Lennie) (Ooh Shay'amanzi)
(Ohh kea le rata Lennie) (Ooh Shay'amanzi)

Then the friendly and the kind people of Shay'amanzi came
Then they found little Lennie out there in the rain (Ag shame man)
They loaded him up in a truck and drove him back to safety
To Shayamanzi (Shay'amanzi)
To Shayamanzi (Shay'amanzi)

It's the place where Lennie will be safe and sound
Sound and happy
Happy and warm
Warm and home
