I cumba zimba zimba zi-o
I cumba zimba zimba zee
I cumba zimba zimba zi-o
I cumba zimba zimba zee
See him there, the Zulu warrior

I cumba zimba zimba zee
See him there, the Zulu warrior
See him there, the Zulu chief chief chief chief
(Sung in a round - half doing the 'I cumba' while the other half does 'See him there')

Thank you for the lyrics to the Zulu Warrier song. We sang it around the council fires at Camp
Napowan, Wild Rose, Wisconain many years ago and it was great with a large group. Brings
back some great memories. Did the song originate in South Africa?

I first heard this song at 6th grade camp Cuyamaca for La presa Middle
School in 2005. I was 11 and our scout leader Ernie sang us this song. He
was a white guy who supposedly played on the Seattle Seahawks and
was a honorary Zulu Warrior.

So I'm on my way to this morning and into head my pops "See him
there the Zulu warrior, see him the the Zulu chief".
That's all I can remember. Time to google and this site shows up.
Where I learned the song and when are vague, somewhere between 1964 & 1966 at either Cub Scouts, 4th, 5th or 6th grade at Robert E. Lee Elementary, or 6th Grade Camp Palomar.
Where did the time go.

We sang this song in Girl Scouts in Los Angeles, CA,
circa 1957. We also sang songs from Australia and
Switzerland.

I don't know where I learned this song, but my family sang it when
we were growing up. It turns out we have Zulu ancestry. So, it's
powerful for us.
