This was inspired by my grandson's jungle themed bedroom and the sweet jazzy song tells the story of 'The Jungle King' who actually doesn't live in the jungle bit as the song says 'I freely roam in Africa among the grassy plains' leaving all his lady friends to do all the work. This and a few other fun facts about lions are found in the lyrics of the song and it would be a great addition to a topic on animals or habitats. Why not create actions and a class dance do go with the song, accompany with instruments and listen to other music written about animals or in a jazzy idiom? Whatever you do hope this helps you have fun in your music lessons.
