Lyrics
The Vultures:
We're your friends
We're your friends
We're your friends to the bitter end (the bitter end)
When you're alone (when you're alone)
Who comes around (who comes around)
To pluck you up (To pluck you up)
When you are down (When you are down)
And when you're outside, looking in
Who's there to open the door
That's what friends are for
Who's always eager to extend
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
We're friends of every creature
Comin' down the pike
In fact we never met an animal we didn't like
Mowgli/The Vultures
Didn't like
The Vultures
So you can see
We're friends in need
And friends in need
Are friends indeed
We'll keep you safe
In the jungle forevermore
Shere Khan:
And that's what friends are for

<poem> The Vultures: We're your friends
Rocky: They're your friends
The Vultures: We're your friends Until the bitter end When you're down-in Who comes around To pluck you up When you are down? When you're out And the cover picks you Up off the floor
The Vultures/Rocky: Aha Aha Aha That's what friends are for
The Vultures: When you're lost In dire need Who's at your side At lightning speed? And when you're outside looking in, Who's there to open the door?
Rocky: That's what friends are for
The Vultures: You know the zebra, The hyena, and the kangaroo, The cobra and the lion All agree it's true We're fond of every creature Coming down the pike
Rocky: In fact, they've never met an animal they didn't like
The Vultures: To all that's near, To all your chums, You have it clear When danger comes. And so we're eager to extend A friendly claw
Rocky: That's what friends are for
The Vultures: You know the armadillo, Elephant, and wild boar
Rocky: The cheetah and the anteater They adore
The Vultures: We even dined with the rhino And his shiny spike
Rocky: In fact they've never met an animal they didn't like
The Vultures: So you can see
Rocky: We're friends in need
The Vultures/Rocky: And friends in need Are friends indeed
The Vultures: We'll keep you safe In the jungle forevermore
The Vultures/Rocky: That's what friends are for <poem>
