Did the wombles sing lion sleeps tonight?

The answer is no. The song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was originally recorded by the Tokens in 1961. The Wombles are a fictional family of burrowing creatures who live in Wimbledon Common. They were created by Elisabeth Beresford and first appeared in a children's book in 1968. The Wombles have released several albums of songs, but none of them include "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
