Meet the Vultures/That's What Friends Are For

(The vultures sit on a dead tree)

Buzzy: (yawns) Hey, Flaps, what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know. What you wanna do?

Ziggy: I got it! Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle! They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swinging scene. All right?

Buzzy: Ah, come off it! Things are right dead all over.

Ziggy: You mean you wish they were!

[they laugh]

Dizzy: Very funny.

Buzzy: Okay, so what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know, what you wanna do?

Buzzy: Look, Flaps, first I say, "what we gonna do?" and then you say, "what you wanna do?", they I say, "what we gonna do?", you say "what you wanna do?", "what you gonna do", "what you wanna" - let's do something!

Flaps: Okay. What you wanna do?

Buzzy: Oh, blimey, there you go again. The same once again!

Ziggy: I've got it! This time, I've really got it.

Buzzy: So you got it. So what we gonna do?

Dizzy: Hold it lads. Look, look what's coming our way.

Flaps: Hey, what in the world is that?

Ziggy: What a crazy looking bunch of bones.

Dizzy: Yeah, and the're all walking about by themselves.

[They look at Mowgli who sits down on a stone]

Badger: We have to wait for the others come.

Buzzy: So what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know-- and now don't start that again!

Ziggy: Come on lads, come one let's have some fun with this little fella, this little [flockey?]

[They all fly down to Mowgli]

Flaps: Blimey, he's got legs like a storky.

Buzzy: Like a stork, heh-heh, but he ain't got no feathers.

[Vultures laugh]

Mowgli: Go ahead. Laugh. I don't care.

Rabbit: After all, he is not a bird.

[He walks off]

Dizzy: What's wrong with him?

Flaps: I think we overdid it.

Dizzy: We were just having a bit of fun that's all.

Buzzy: Just look at him. What a poor little fella. You know, he must be down on his luck.

Dizzy: Yeah, or he wouldn't be in our neighbourhood.

Buzzy: Hey, new kid, wait a minute, hey!

Mowgli: Just leave me alone.

Buzzy: Oh, come on, come on, what's wrong? You know, you look like you haven't got a friend in the world.

Mowgli: I haven't. Except for Rabbit and Badger.

Dizzy: Haven't you got a mother or a father?

Mowgli: No. Nobody wants me around.

Buzzy: Yeah, we know how you feel.

Dizzy: Nobody wants us around, either.

Buzzy: We may look a bit shabby, but we've got hearts.

Dizzy: And feelings, too.

Buzzy: And just to prove it to you, we're gonna let you join our little group.

Flaps: Kid, we'd like to make you an honorary vulture.

Mowgli: Thanks, but I'd rather be on my own alone.

Buzzy: Uh, now look, kid, everybody's got to have friends. Hey, fellas, are we his friends?

Flaps, Dizzy, Ziggy: (sing) We're your friends

We're your friends

We're your friends to the bitter end

Buzzy: The bitter end

Flaps: When you're alone

Buzzy, Dizzy, Ziggy: When you're alone

Flaps: Who comes around?

Buzzy, Dizzy, Ziggy: Who comes around?

Flaps: To pluck you up

Buzzy: give us a smile

Buzzy, Ziggy, Dizzy: When you are down

Flaps: And when you're

Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy: outside looking in who's there

To open the door?

Buzzy: come on, kid, we need a tenor

Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy: That's what friends are for.

Who's always eager to extend

[Mowgli smiles]

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

[Shere Khan hears them]

Coming down the pike
