The Jungle Book1967

[Baloo glares at Bagheera and then turns to Mowgli at the Begins of "The Bare Necessities"]

Baloo:
Look, now it's like this, little britches. All you gotta do is... [singing] ? Look for the Bare Necessities, the simple Bare Necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife. I mean the Bare Necessities! Ol' Mother Nature's recipes, that bring the Bare Necessitites 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... ?

Mowgli:
You eat ants?

Baloo:
[laughs] You better believe it. And you're gonna love the way they tickle.

[Rock almost falls on Mowgli]

Bagheera:
[stammers] MOWGLI, LOOK OUT!

Baloo:
[singing] ? The Bare Necessities of life will come to you. ?

Mowgli:
[trying to catch an ant] But when?

Baloo:
[singing] ? 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 pawpaw, or a prickly pear... ?

Mowgli:
[pointed prickling finger] Ow!

Baloo:
[continue singing] ? ...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 pawpaw. Have I given you a clue? ?

Mowgli:
Golly, thanks, Baloo!

Bagheera:
"Pawpaw".... Ha! Of all the silly gibberish.

Baloo:
[yanks a pouty Bagheera's foot as he smirks] Come on, Baggy! Get with the beat! [singing] ? The Bare Necessities of life will come to you. ?

Mowgli:
[singing] ? They'll come to me! ?

Baloo:
[singing] ? 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? [Mowgli scratches Baloo's back] 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 tree, this calls for some big scratch.

Mowgli:
[laughs] You're lots of fun, Baloo!

[Baloo is now scratching against a tree]

Baloo:
Right on it. Yeah. That's delicious. Ahh... ooh! Just a little bit-- Mm... yeah... ha-ha! Ooh! [pulls tree from the ground finally, and scratches by it trunk with his back to the his chest] Mm... mmm... ha-ha... ooh. Yeah. [Baloo, satisfied, lets himself fall into a river] Oh, man, this is really livin'. [floats in a river] So just try and relax. Yeah. [Mowgli gets on his tummy] Cool it. Fall apart in my backyard. [Mowgli float down a river] Cause' lemme tell you some'm, Li'l Britches: if you act like that bee-acts, uh-huh. You're working too hard. And don't spend your time just 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:
[annoyed, and turns walks away] Ahh... I give up. Well, I hope his luck holds out.

Baloo:
Mowgli, how 'bout you singing?

Baloo and Mowgli:
[both singing] ? Look for the Bare Necessities, the simple Bare Necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife. ?

Mowgli:
Yeah, man!

[the monkeys sees Mowgli and Baloo are singing in the float a river]

Both:
[singing] ? I mean the Bare Necessities, that's why a bear can rest at ease. With just the Bare Necessities of life. ?

Baloo:
Yeah!

Both:
[singing] ? With just the Bare Necessities of Life. ?

Mowgli:
Yeah, man!

[At the end of "The Bare Necessities"]

Baloo:
[laughing] Beautiful! That's real jungle harmony.

Mowgli:
[smiles] I like being a bear.

Baloo:
[smiles] That's my boy. And you're gonna make one swell bear. Why, you even sing like one!
