Baloo: (singing) Doo-bee doo-bee doo-bee dee-doo
Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-do
Yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-do
I mean a doo-be doo-bee doo-be
Doo-be doo-bee doo
And with--
[he sees Mowgli]
Baloo: (speaks) Well now, ha-ha! What have we here?
Bear: Uncle Baloo? Is that you?
Baloo: Hey there, Nephew. Hello, Leonard.
Leonard: Hi, cousin Baloo.
Baloo: Who are the friends?
Franklin: I'm Franklin and this is Snail, Beaver, Fox, Skunk, Rabbit, Badger, Goose and Raccoon.
Slyly: They call me Slyly.
Babar: I am Babar, King of Celesteville. And these are our children.
[Baloo sniffs Mowgli]
Baloo: Hmm.. Hey, what a funny little bit of a-- [Mowgli slaps him] Ow!
Mowgli: Go away!
Baloo: Oh boy, I've seen everything in these woods, what have I run on? What a pretty thing this is!
Mowgli: Leave me alone.
Baloo: Well now, that's pretty big talk, little britches
Mowgli: I'm big enough
[He starts hitting Baloo in the tummy repeatedly but Baloo doesn't almost notice that]
Baloo: Ha-ha.. tsk-tsk-tsk. Pitiful. Hey, kid, you need help. And old Baloo is gonna learn you to fight like a bear. Now come on, I'm gonna show you. Grrr. [He starts to dance around and Mowgli too, mimicking Baloo's moves] Ha-ha. Yeah! All right now kid, loosen up, get real loosen, then start to weave, weave a little, now move, that's it. Now give me a big bear growl, scare me!
[Mowgli makes a barely audible growl]
(Flora chuckles)
Baloo: Tsk-tsk-tsk. Oh boy. I'm talking about like a big bear!
[Baloo makes a growl which rocks the jungle to the bottom and even Bagheera who was walking away all this time hears it.]
Bagheera: He's in trouble. I shouldn't have left him alone!
[Bagheera runs back to Mowgli]
Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo: GRRR!
Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo: A big one, right from your toes.
Mowgli: How's that?
[Bagheera arrives]
Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo: Ha-ha-ha, ya, you're getting it, kid.
Bagheera: Oh no! It's Baloo! That shiftless stupid jungle bum.
Raccoon: Oh, hello, Bagheera.
[Baloo and Mowgli dance around again]
Baloo: Weave about, now look for an opening. Keep movin', keep [Mowgli takes some swings at Baloo's nose but misses] Ha-ha! Ya, you're getting it kid, ha-ha. Come on, that's it. Ha-ha-ha! He's a dandy!
[Baloo playfully slaps Mowgli which sends him rolling around and leaves knocked out on the ground]
Bagheera: Heh-heh. Fine teacher you are, old Iron Paws.
Baloo: Oh thanks, Bagheera.
Bagheera: Yeah, tell me, tell me after you know your pupil senseless, how do you expect him to remember the lesson?
[Mowgli at this time already came to and sits on the ground, shaking head]
Baloo: Well, I, I didn't mean to lay it on him so hard.
[Mowgli walks to Baloo, though kinda unsteadily]
Mowgli: I'm not hurt. I'm all right. I'm a lot tougher than some people think.
Baloo: You better believe it! Now let's go once more. Now you keep ciclin' or I'm gonna knock your roof in again, you better keep movin' --[Mowgli hits Baloo into lower jaw] Ooph! [Baloo playfully falls down] Hey! Right on the button! [Mowgli, Bear, Franklin, Pom, Flora, Alexander, Isabelle and Beaver climbs on him, occasionally tickling him with his feet] Ah, ha-ha, no, no-no, now you're tickling. ha-ha-ha [Mowgli, Franklin Bear, Beaver, Pom, Flora, Alexander and Isabelle start tickling him deliberately] No, no, we don't do that here, no cheating, no, you're tickling, I can't stand tickling, heh-heh-heh. Help, Bagheera!
Bagheera: Now that's all he needs. More confidence.
Celeste: Look at the children, Babar. They're playing.
Babar: Look like they like Baloo.
Mowgli: Give up, Baloo?
Baloo: I give up, I told ya. Oh, I give-- [Mowgli, Franklin and friends stop] Hey, ha-ha. You know something? You're all right, kid. What do they call you?
Bagheera: Mowgli. And he's going back to the man-village right now.
Flora: What?
Baloo: Man-village? They'll ruin 'im! They'll make a man out of 'im.
Snail: But Mowgli can't go.
Mowgli: Snail is right. I want to stay here with you!
Baloo: Certainly you do.
Bagheera: Oh? And just how do you think you will survive?
Baloo: "How do you think you will" - What do you mean "How do you think you will"? He's with me, any, And I'll learn him all I know.
Bagheera: Well, heh, that shouldn't take too long.
[Baloo glares at Bagheera and then turns to Mowgli]
Baloo: Look, now it's like this, little britches. All you've got to do is...(singing): Look for the bare necessities (Pom, Flora, Alexander and Isabelle dance) The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare nevessities,
Are Mother Nature's recipies
That bring the bare necessities of life
Bear: (singing in Mowgli's voice) Wherever I wander
Fox: (singing in Mowgli's voice) Wherever I roam
Pom: (singing in Mowgli's voice) I couldn't be fonder
Of my big home
Baloo: 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 the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few...
Mowgli: You eat ants?
Baloo: Ha-ha, you better believe it! And you're gonna love the way they tickle.
[Rock almost falls on Mowgli]
Bagheera: Mowgli, look out!
Baloo: The bare necessities of life will come to you
Mowgli (trying to catch an ant): When?
Baloo: 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
Mowgli (pricking finger): Ow!
Baloo: 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 pair of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue?
Mowgli: Golly, thanks, Baloo!
Bagheera: Paw-paw, ha! Of all the silly gibberish
Baloo (pulling Bagheera by the tail): Come on, Baggy, get with the beat! (continues singing) The bare necessities of life will come to you
Mowgli: They'll come to me!
Baloo: They'll come to you [Music from the song goes on through the whole following scratching scene] How 'bout scratchin' that old left shoulder while you're up there, Mowgli? Now just a hair lower.. There, right there. That's it. Ahh..This is beautiful. That's good. Kid, we've got to get to a tree, this calls for some big scratch!
Franklin: You're lots of fun, Baloo!
[Baloo is now scratching against a tree]
Baloo: Right on it.. Yeah! That's delicious! Oh, ooo! Just a little bit--mmm.. yeah.. ha-ha.. ooo. [he pulls the tree from the ground finally and scratches by its trunk] Mm... mmm... ha-ha.. ooo. yeah! [Baloo, satisfied, lets himself fall into water] Oh man, this is really livin'. So just try and relax. Yeah. [Mowgli, Franklin, Bear, Pom and Flora and Isabelle get on his tummy] Cool it. Fall apart in my back yard. '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 looking around for something you want, that can't be found (singing): When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it
And I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you.
Bagheera walks away: Ahh.. I give up. Well I hope his luck holds out.
Baloo: Mowgli, how 'bout you singing?
Baloo, Franklin, Bear, Pom, Flora, Isabelle and Mowgli: Look for the bare necessities,
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
Bear: Yeah, man!
Baloo, Franklin, Bear, Pom, Flora, Isabelle and Mowgli: I mean the bare necessities,
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Baloo: Yeah!
Baloo, Franklin, Bear, Pom, Flora, Isabelle and Mowgli: With just the bare necessities of life
Mowgli: Yeah, man!
