"Did the Lion King opening and Nathan (the donkey) joined in with me!" Kinley wrote on Facebook. "I love this dude!"
The first words of the song are in Zulu: "Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama."
"Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala."
That translates to: "Here comes a lion, father. Oh yes, it's a lion.
"Here comes a lion, father. Oh yes, it's a lion. A lion. We're going to conquer. A lion. A lion and a leopard come to this open place," according to Insider.com.
