A clue: this one starts with another mondegreen, "PE-E-E-EN-syl-VA-nia..."

Hadn't heard this one.

Travis got it: it's the opening lines from "The Circle of Life," from The Lion King. The real lyrics are Zulu, so they're bound to be misheard. It's actually "Ingonyama nengw'enamabala" (a lion and a leopard come to this open place).

The opening word is Siyonqoba (we will conquer).

Maybe this will help:

"Pennsylvania" is right at the beginning. "Pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom" starts at :30 and continues as a chant below the main lyrics.

The "pink pajamas" part starts at :57 in the Broadway version, though it's clearer than in the movie soundtrack.

For the record, this wasn't my personal mondegreen. I think I read it in Reader's Digest or someplace.

Okay, I had never heard these misheard lyrics before, and now I can't get them out of my head!

Hooray! It's much more fun this way. :)
