The Jungle Book Page #5
You came up with this stuff,
with the thumb.
Come on, show me.
How do you do that? I can't do that.
Look, I scratch, I rub, I can grab a fish.
But I was hoping, and you may
not be open to this at all...
But I was hoping,
and once again, it's a dream...
But I was hoping that I might become...
A bandar-log myself.
Gosh, I wanna be like you.
I am hitching my wagon to your star.
No one leaves!
I can show myself out. Thanks. Bye-bye!
We'll try to hold them off.
Where you going, man-cub?
Stay away from me!
You don't have anyone now.
I'm your only hope.
I can make it real good for you here.
Where else you gonna go?
I'll go back to the pack!
I'll go back to akela!
Akela?
Oh.
You didn't hear?
Shere Khan killed him.
Must've been on account of you.
No! You're lying!
Don't run away...
From who you are!
You hear me?
Think about it, man-cub.
We can rule this jungle.
No...
Listen to reason.
Gotcha!
Mowgli!
If anything happens to that kid...
- Bagheera!
- Mowgli?
Stay there.
We'll come around to you.
Is it true?
What?
Is akela dead?
We were going to tell you.
You knew!
You both knew!
And nobody did anything about it!
Kid, just hold on.
Someone's gotta do something!
Wlowgn!
There's no trace of him.
Where could he have gone?
Come on!
It's man.
He's come to the jungle.
Ami, what's happening?
The red flower.
Everybody, get to the river!
Red flower.
Pups, come on. Stay close.
Ls that mowgli?
Shere Khan!
Shere Khan!
I'm not afraid of you!
No one has to be afraid of you any more!
No...
I think they're afraid
of something else now.
The man-cub is now a man.
Gray...
Always a proud day...
When they come of age.
You can fool them, but you can't fool me.
I'm the one who saw your future.
I saw what you'd become.
Come now, use the red flower.
Use it on me like your father did.
Show everyone what you really are!
I'm mowgli of the seeonee
and this is my home!
That was the stupidest thing
you could've done.
Now you have nothing.
No claws, no fur, no teeth...
And no friends.
"This is the law of the jungle...
"As old and as true as the sky."
What is this?
"The wolf that keeps it may prosper...
"But the wolf
that breaks it will die."
You fools.
"Like the creeper
that girdles the tree trunk...
"The law runneth over and back."
Fine! Rise up, all of you!
You want to put yourselves
between me and the man-cub?
"...and the strength
of the wolf is the pack."
I will have you all
in my teeth!
- No!
- Wolves, attack!
Stay here!
But I wanna fight with the wolves!
- You can't fight him like a wolf.
- You're not a wolf!
Fight him like a man.
Now, go!
Okay.
We'll hold him off.
It's time
we put an end to this.
Rakshai no!
Dead tree.
It's just you and me now!
Break, break!
You've got nowhere to go, man-cub!
Did you think I would let you grow old?
Either I'll devour you
or the red flower will.
It's just a matter of time.
How long did you really think
you'd survive against me?
Longer than your father did?
Longer than... akela?
I'm not afraid of you!
Do you hear me?
I'm done running from you!
You stood your ground, old boy.
You stood your ground.
Ami, ami!
My son.
Mowgli!
- Lt's mowgli!
Mowgli.
Will you look at that?
And where they made
furrows in the ground with their tusks...
There the rivers ran.
In my years, I've seen
a lot in this jungle.
But that night...
I saw something I'll never forget.
I saw a little boy...
Without a people...
Bring all the jungle together
for the very first time.
Just a few more turns.
"M going high!
Stay low.
He never listens.
Gotcha!
- Come on, mowgli.
- You went in the tree.
- That wasn't fair.
- We almost made it.
You guys...
Are going too fast.
Anybody ever teach you how to jog?
You went high when everyone else
stayed on the trail.
- But that's what you do.
- Maybe, but I'm not a wolf.
- Next time, stay together.
- Come on, guys.
"For the strength of the pack is the..."
- Wolf.
-"Wolf...
"And the strength of the wolf
is the pack."
Mowgli's back!
Hey, mowgli! Wait for us.
Hurry up, guys.
Hi, gray.
Look well, wolves.
"This is the law of the jungle...
"As old and as true as the sky.
"The wolf that keeps it may prosper...
"But the wolf that breaks it will die.
"Like the creeper that girdles
the tree trunk...
"The law runneth over and back.
"For the strength of the pack..."
This is nice up here.
Now he can climb.
Please don't tell me
you're about to head down.
I could get used to this.
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, man-cub
and stroll right into town
and be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
oh, ooo-be do
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you,
talk like you too-oo-oo
you'll see it's true-oo-oo,
someone like me-ee-ee
can learn to be
like someone like you-oo-oo
now, don't try to kid me, man-cub
I'll make a deal with you
what I desire is man's red fire
to make my dream come true
now give me the secret, man-cub
come on!
Clue me what to do
give me the power
of man's red flower
so I can be like you
oh, ooo-be do
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you,
talk like you too-oo-oo
you'll see it's true-oo-oo,
someone like me-ee-ee
can learn to be
like someone like you-oo-oo
now you might think
it's ridiculous that me
a gigantopithecus,
would ever dream
I'd like to team with
the likes of you, man-cub
but together we'd have powers
all the jungle's treasures, ours
I got desire
you got the fire
but the dream I dream takes two
-- so, 00-00-00
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna use that flame
just the same as you can do
oh, how magnificus it would be
a gigantopithecus like me
could learn to do
like you humans do-oo-oo
can learn to be
like someone like you-oo-oo
can learn to be
like someone like me-ee-ee
trust in me
just in me
shut your eyes
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
just relax
be at rest
like a bird
in a nest
trust in me
just in me
shut your eyes
and trust in me
trust in me
just in me
shut your eyes
and trust in me
yeah
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 bring the bare
necessities of life
wherever I wander
wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder
of my big home
the bees are buzzing
in the tree
to make some honey just for me
when you look under
the rocks and plants
and take a glance at them fancy ants
and then maybe try a few
the bare necessities of life
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
