Terry Gilkyson - The Bare Necessities
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you

Terry Gilkyson - Brothers All
(deleted song from the 1967 Disney film)
Out of the jungle, out of the sky
Whether the largest or the least
Whether we walk or whether we fly,
Bird, fish or man or beast
We are of one mind, you and I
Give us our freedom or soon we die
Freedom or soon we die
From my heart I call to you
To you, Mother Wolf and old Baloo
Oh hear me, Akela and Bagheera too
Hear me cry the jungle call
Brothers all, brothers all
Though life may change and years pass us by
We will remember this great law
Law of the sea, the earth and the sky
Whether we swim or crawl
We are of one blood, you and I
Give us our freedom or soon we die
Freedom or soon we die
From my heart I call to you
To you, Mother wolf and old Baloo
So hear me, Akela and Bagheera too
Hear me cry the jungle call
Brothers all, brothers all, brothers all

J Pat OMalley - Colonel Hathis March (The Elephant Song)
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it up! Two! Three! Four!
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it up! Two! Three! Four!
Shere Khan: What beastly luck! Confound that ridiculous Colonel Hathi.
Company sound off!
Oh we march from here to there
And it doesn't matter where
You can hear us push
Through the deepest bush
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
With a military air
With a military air
We're a crackerjack brigade
On a pachyderm parade
But we'd rather stroll
To a water hole
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
For a furlough in the shade
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it up! Two! Three! Four!
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it up! Two! Three! Four!
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it up! Two! Three! Four!
Mowgli: A parade!
Bagheera: Oh, no! The Dawn Patrol again.
Company sound off!
Oh, the aim of our patrol
Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill
(All trumpeting)
Is a military goal
Is a military goal
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Dress it up! Two! Three! Four!
By the ranks or single file
Over every jungle mile
Oh we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
(Hathi Junior trumpeting)
In the "militaly" style
In the military style
Mowgli: Hello. What are you doing?
Hathi Junior: Shh. Drilling.
Mowgli: Can I do it too?
Hathi Junior: Sure. Just do what I do and don't talk in rank. It's against regulations.
To the rear, march!
Hathi Junior: The other way. Turn around.
Hup! Two! Three! Four!
Keep it hup! Two! Three! Four!
To the rear... ho!
Company... halt!
Hathi Junior: That means "stop!".
Colonel Hathi: Forward... March!

Terry Gilkyson - The Song Of The Seeonee
To the moon we'll lift our voices
In a fearful harmony
No one but us rejoices at
The song of the Seeonee
All for one and one for all
We'll sing out our deeds tonight
Oh hear the tune of the wild hunting call
As we sing by the moon's silver light, silver light
The pack can always defend its own
Whatever its own may lack
And the tiger may be king when he fights alone
But the tiger fears the pack
To the moon we'll lift our voices
In a fearful harmony
No one but us rejoices at
The song of the Seeonee

Louis Prima - Wanna Be Like You
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be humen too
Gee, cousin Louie
You're doin' real good
Now here's your part of the deal, 'cause
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire
But I don't know how to make fire
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Now give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
You!
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!

Sterling Holloway - Trust In Me (The Python's Song)
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me

Lord Tim Hudson, J. Pat O'Malley, Chad Stuart, Digby Wolfe - That's What Friends Are For (The Vulture Song)
We're your friends
We're your friends
We're your friends to the bitter end
When you're alone
Who comes around
To pluck you up
When you are down
And when you're outside, looking in
Who's there to open the door?
That's what friends are for!
Who's always eager to extend
A friendly claw?
That's what friends are for!
And when you're lost in dire need
Who's at your side at lightning speed?
We're friends of every creature
Comin' down the pike
In fact we never met an animal
We didn't like, didn't like
So you can see
We're friends in need
And friends in need
Are friends indeed
We'll keep you safe
In the jungle forevermore
That's what friends are for!

Darleen Carr - My Own Home
My own home, my own home
My own home, my own home
Father's hunting in the forest
Mother's cooking in the home
I must go to fetch the water
'Til the day that I'm grown
'Til I'm grown, 'til I'm grown
I must go to fetch the water
'Til the day that I'm grown
Then I will have a handsome husband
And a daughter of my own
And I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home
Then I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home

Phil Harris - Baloos Blues
It's a blue, blue jungle
Every vine every tree
Yes, it's a blue, blue jungle
Not like it used to be
Because my little buddy
My little Mowgli's far from me
And I got the misery
Oh, they civilized my man cub
Washed his face and combed his hair
(Sticky, gooey stuff... yeah)
They civilized my man cub
Gave him way-out clothes to wear
(No where)
They're messin' with my Mowgli
And he would've made one swell bear
Oh, I'm on the road to ruin
Stewin' body night 'n' day
Yes, I'm just a broodin', brewin'
Stewin' while I'm turnin' gray
I've got to have my man cub
Gotta get him back here, right away
Some way
And if anyone tries to stop me
He better bring all the help he can
(Hear me talkin' to ya...)
I said if anybody tries to stop me
He gonna get a one way ticket
To the promise land
(I'm preachin' now)
'Cuz I'm gonna cave in his casaba
I'm gonna pull it off
And then lay it in his hands
I've got those sad about him
Can't live without him
Balooo blues

Phil Harris - Its A Kick
Hey, it's a kick to have you back again
It's a charge to see you smile
It's a blast to hear your voice again
It's been a long, long lonesome while
I don't know how I got along without you
Set a spell and tell me all about you
Cause it's a kick to have you back again
I don't know if I'll cry or laugh
I only know seeing you's
A happy how do you do
It's a kick, it's a kick and a half
Hey, it's a bang to have you back again
I mean a wow to see you smile
It's a smash to hear your voice again
It's been a long, long lonesome while
I don't know how I got along without you
Set a spell and tell me all about you
Cause it's a kick to have you back again
I don't know if I'll cry or laugh
I only know seeing you's
A happy how do you do
It's a kick, it's a kick and a half
It's a great big kick and a half
Ooo, it's a boon
