Good. And remember,

an elephant never forgets.

I don't know what the army's

coming to these days.

These young whippersnappers,

who do they think they are?

Let's get on with it!

Right face!

Forward march!

Dear, haven't you

forgotten something?

Nonsense, Winifred old girl.

An elephant never forgets.

Well, you just

forgot our son.

Uh, uh, son... Son?

Son! Oh, yes, yeah, yeah!

Quite right.

To the rear! March!

When I grow up, I'm gonna be

a Colonel, just like my...

- If I've told you once, I've

told you a thousand times...

- Oh!

Pop! Look out!

Gee, Pop, you forgot

to say "halt."

He said an elephant

never forgets.

It's not funny.

Now let's get out of here quick

before anything else happens.

Bagheera!

Where are we goin'?

You're going back to

the man village right now.

- I'm not going.

- Oh, yes, you are!

I'm staying right here!

You're going if I have to

drag you every step of the way.

- Let go, you...

- You let go of me!

Oh, that does it.

I've had it, man cub!

From now on, you're

on your own alone!

Don't worry about me.

Foolish man cub.

Doo-bee doo-bee

doo-bee-dee-doo

Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo

Yes, its a doo-bah-dee-doo

I mean a doo-bee doo-bee, doo-bee

doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo

And with...

Well, now.

What have we here?

Hey, what a funny

little bit of a...

- Oh!

- Go away!

Oh, boy, I've seen

everything in these woods.

Hoo! What have I run on?

What a pretty thing this is.

- Leave me alone.

- Well, now.

That's pretty big talk,

little britches.

I'm big enough.

Pitiful. Hey, kid,

you need help.

And old Baloo's gonna learn you

to fight like a bear.

Now come on,

I'm gonna show you.

Yeah!

All right, now, kid, loosen up.

Get real loose and then start to weave.

Weave a little.

Now move! That's it!

Now give me a big bear growl.

Scare me.

Oh, boy.

I'm talkin' about

like a big bear.

He's in trouble! Why, I-I

shouldn't have left him alone.

- A big one. Right from your toes.

- How's that?

- Yeah, you're gettin' it, kid.

- Oh, no! It's Baloo.

That shiftless,

stupid jungle bum.

Weave about now and

look for an opening.

Keep movin'. Keep...

Yeah, you're gettin' it, kid.

Come on, that's it.

He's a dandy.

Fine teacher you are,

old iron paws.

- Oh, thanks, Bagheera.

- Eh, tell me, tell me, uh...

after you knock your pupil

senseless, uh, how do you expect

him to remember the lesson? Hmm?

Well, I... I, uh... Well, I didn't

mean to lay it on him so hard.

I'm not hurt.

I'm all right.

I'm a lot tougher than

some people think.

You better believe it.

Now let's go once more.

Now I want you to keep circlin'

or I'm gonna knock your roof in again.

You better keep movin'.

Hey! Right on the button.

No, no-no, no-no.

Now you're ticklin'.

No! No. N-N-Now, now we don't

do that here in the jungle.

No, you're ticklin'.

I-I can't stand that ticklin'.

- Help, Bagheera!

- Oh, boy, that's all he needs.

More confidence.

- Give up, Baloo?

- I give up, I told ya.

Ooh! I give... Hey!

You know somethin'? You're all right,

kid. What do they call you?

Mowgli. And he's going back

to the man village right now.

Man village? They'll ruin him.

They'll make a man out of him.

Oh, Baloo, I wanna

stay here with you.

Certainly you do.

Oh? And just how do you

think he will survive?

"How do you think he will..." What do

you mean, "How do you think he..."

He's with me, ain't he?

And I'll learn him all I know.

Well, that shouldn't

take too long.

Look, now it's like this,

little britches.

All you've gotta do is...

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries

And your strife

I mean the bare necessities

are Mother Nature's recipes

That bring 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

You eat ants?

You better believe it. And you're

gonna love the way they tickle.

Mowgli, look out!

- The bare necessities

of life will come to you

- But when?

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 paw paw

- Or a prickly pear

- Ow!

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 the claw

But you don't need to use the claw

When you pick a pear of the big paw paw

- Have I given you a clue?

- Golly. Thanks, Baloo.

Pawpaw.

Of all the silly gibberish.

Come on, Baghee,

get with the beat.

- The bare necessities

of life will come to you

- They'll come to me!

They'll come to you

How 'bout scratchin' that ol' left

shoulder while you're up there, Mowgli?

Now just a hair lower.

There. Right there. That's it.

Oh! This is beautiful.

That's good.

Kid, we've got to get to a tree.

This calls for some big scratchin'.

You're lots of fun, Baloo.

Right on it. Yeah!

That's delicious.

Just a little bit...

Yeah!

Yeah.

Oh, man, this is

really livin'.

So just try and relax.

Yeah. Cool it.

Fall apart in my backyard.

'Cause let me tell you somethin',

little britches.

If you act like

that bee acts...

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 out 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

I give up. Well, I hope

his luck holds out.

Mowgli, how 'bout you sing?

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

- Forget about your worries

and your strife

- Yeah, man.

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!

Beautiful!

That's real jungle harmony.

- I like being a bear.

- That's my boy.

And you're gonna make one swell bear.

Why, you even sing like one.

Hey, Mowgli, how 'bout you

flickin' that old, mean fly...

of fo' your

papa bear's nose?

Ouch!

Boy, when you flick a fly,

you really...

Why you flat-nosed,

little-eyed, flaky creep!

Hey! Let go of me!

Take your flea-pickin' hands

Of fo' my cub!

Come on and get him, champ!

- He ain't no champ. He's a chump!

- Baloo!

Yeah! A big hothead!

Okay, you guys asked for it.

I'll...

That'll cool him off.

Gimme back my man cub!

Here he is.

Come and get him!

That's how a bear

can rest at ease.

Here's some bare necessities.

Now just try that again, you...

- What's that you hit him with, son?

- That was a bare necessity.

Look, monk, you turn him loose

or I'll jerk a knot in your tail...

We give up!

Here he comes!

Baloo! Catch me!
