* Deleted 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

**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
