Songs from The Jungle Book

Baloo's Blues

It's a blue, blue jungle
Ev'ry vine, ev'ry 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
An' I got the misery

Oh, they civilized my mancub
Washed his face and comed his hair-sticky gooey
stuff, yeah
They civilized my mancub
Gave him way-out clothes to wear-nowhere
They're messin' with my Mowgli
And he would've made a swell bear

Oh, I'm on the road to ruin
Stewin' 'bout hime
night 'n day
Yes, I'm just a
broodin' bruin
Stewin' while I'm
turnin' gray
I've got to
have my mancub
Gotta get him
back here
right away-someway

And if anybody 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 promised land
I'm preachin' now
'Cause I'm gonna cave in his casaba
I'm gonna pull it off
And then lay it in his hand

I've got those sad-about-'im
Can't-live-without-'im
Baloo blues

The Bare Necessities

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
Well, next time, beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use a 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

Oh, man this is really livin'!

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 those bees act, uh-uh
You're workin' too hard
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found

When you find you can live
without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you somethin' true
The bare necessities of life
Will 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

Yeah!
With just the bare necessities of life
Yeah, man!

Colonel Hathi's March
(The Elephant Song)

Hup two three four
Keep it up, two three four
Hup two three four
Keep it up, two three four
Company, sound off!

Oh, the aim of our patrol
Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill
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 ev'ry jungle mile
Oh, we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
In a military style
In a military style

Hup two three four
Keep it up, two three four

I wanna Be Like You
(The Monkey Song)

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's 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 human, too

Now, don't try and 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 a secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the pow'r of man's red flow'r
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
(Take me nome, Daddy!)
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
(One more time! Yeah!)
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!

It's a Kick

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

Trust in Me
(The Python's Song)

Trust in me, just in me
shut your eyes and trust in me
SPOKEN: Hold still, please
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
