The Mighty Hunters

&nbsp The Mighty Hunters is a deleted song from the 1967 Disney film, The Jungle Book written by Terry Gilkyson. It featured Shere Khan the tiger and Buldeo the hunter, a character cut from the film. Like the songs by Gilkyson, save for "The Bear Necessities", this song was cut as Walt Disney felt it was too dark.

Lyrics
Chorus (Shere Khan)

It isn't fair to hate me

When you know me very slightly

When you know me better

Then you can judge me rightly

And all who know me very well

Hate me, hate me, hate me more than Khan

Can tell

Shere Khan

Oh, I'm Shere Khan, who fights alone

A demon I resemble

I have no friends to call my own

I make the jungle tremble

I'm cruel as the midday sun

All clad in black and yellow

And all who see me turn and run

Though I'm a handsome fellow

Buldeo

Buldeo is my name of fame

I'm expert with the weapon

Shere Khan's the game I mean to tame

His carcass I shall step on

I'll meet my victim eye-to-eye

He knows just how I hate him

He'll have no time to say goodbye

For I'll exterminate him.

Chorus (Shere Khan)

It isn't fair to hate me

When you know me very slightly

When you know me better

Then you can judge me rightly

And all who know me very well

Hate me, hate me, hate me more than Khan

Can tell

Shere Khan

Buldeo seeks to take my life

How does he dare, I wonder

Unless he wants a widowed wife

As I tear him asunder

My fangs are sharp, my heart is cold

There's no time for complaining

His friends and family should be told

There won't be much remaining

Buldeo

As hunter, I'm invincible

I always get my quarry

I never, as a principle

Let myself feel sorry

With elephant and antelope

My name is dreaded still

Shere Khan can only dare to hope for time

To make his will

Chorus (Shere Khan)

It isn't fair to hate me

When you know me very slightly

When you know me better

Then you can judge me rightly

And all who know me very well

Hate me

Chorus (Buldeo)

Hate him

Chorus (Shere Khan)

Hate me

Chorus (Buldeo)

Hate him

Chorus (Shere Khan)Hate me more than Khan

Chorus (together)

Can tell
