Meeting the vultures/"That's What Friends are For"

Here's when the vultures appear and sing there song "That's What Friends are For" in *Brian and the Eeveelution Family's Adventures of The Jungle Book*.

[fade to the vultures sitting on a dead tree]

Buzzy: (yawns) Hey, Flaps, what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know. What you wanna do?

Ziggy: I got it! Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle! They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swinging scene. All right?

Buzzy: Ah, come off it! Things are right dead all over.

Ziggy: You mean you *wish* they were!

[they laugh]

Dizzy: Very funny.

Buzzy: Okay, so what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know, what you wanna do?

Buzzy: Look, Flaps, first I say, "what we gonna do?" and then you say, "what you wanna do?", they I say, "what we gonna do?", you say "what you wanna do?", "what you gonna do", "what you wanna" - let's *do* something!

Flaps: Okay. What you wanna do?

Buzzy: Oh, blimey, there you go again. The *same* once again!

Ziggy: I've got it! This time, I've *really* got it.

Buzzy: So you got it. So what we gonna do?

Dizzy: Hold it lads. Look, look what's coming our way.

Flaps: Hey, what in the world is that?

Ziggy: What a crazy looking bunch of bones.

Dizzy: Yeah, and they're all walking about by themselves.

[They look at Mowgli who sits down on a stone as Chinta hops onto the stone and sits down next him]

Buzzy: So what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know... and now don't start that again!

Ziggy: (pushes the others off the branch) Come on lads, come one let's have some fun with this little fella, this little [flockey?]

[They all fly down to Mowgli and Chinta]

Flaps: (picks up one of Mowgli's legs) Blimey, he's got legs like a storky.

Buzzy: Like a stork, heh-heh, but he ain't got no feathers.

Flaps: (indicating Chinta) And check out this little fuzzball next to him! She's as small as a squirrel!

Buzzy: Sure, she may look like a squirrel, but she's got ears too big for a squirrel's!

[Vultures laugh]

Mowgli: Go ahead. Laugh. I don't care.

[They walk off]

Dizzy: What's wrong with them?

Flaps: I think we overdid it.

Dizzy: We were just having a bit of fun that's all.

Buzzy: Just look at them. What poor little fellas. You know, they must be down on their luck.

Dizzy: Yeah, or they wouldn't be in our neighborhood.

Buzzy: Hey, new kids, wait a minute, hey!

Mowgli: Just leave us alone.

Buzzy: Oh, come on, come on, what's wrong? You know, you look like you haven't got a friend in the world.

Mowgli: I *haven't*.

Dizzy: Haven't you got a mother or a father?

Mowgli: No. Nobody wants me around.

Chinta: Or me for that matter. I just seem to be in their way of things.

Buzzy: Yeah, we know how you feel.

Dizzy: Nobody wants us around, either.

Buzzy: We may look a bit shabby, but we've got hearts.

Dizzy: And feelings, too.

Buzzy: And just to prove it to you, we're gonna let you join our little group.

Flaps: Kid, we'd like to make you honorary vultures.

Mowgli: Thanks, but I'd rather be on my own alone.

Chinta: And I do appreciate it but, your home isn't the place for me. There are no leaves for me to eat.

Buzzy: Uh, now look, kids, everybody's got to have friends. Hey, fellas, are we his friends?

The vultures (singing): We're your friends

We're your friends
We're your friends to the bitter end
Buzzy: The bitter end

Flaps: When you're alone

Buzzy, Dizzy, Ziggy: When you're alone

Flaps: Who comes around?

Buzzy, Dizzy, Ziggy: Who comes around?

Flaps: To pluck you up

Buzzy: give us a smile Buzzy, Ziggy, Dizzy: When you are down

Flaps: And when you're Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy: outside looking in who's there.

To open the door?
Buzzy: Come on, kids, we need a tenor.

Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy: That's what friends are for.

Who's always eager to extend.
[Mowgli and Chinta smile]

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
[Shere Khan and Ernie hear them]

Vultures:

We're friends of ev'ry creature
Coming down the pike
In fact we never met an animal
We didn't like
Buzzy: Heh, heh. you take it kids

Vultures with Mowgli and Chinta: Didn't like

Buzzy: So you can see

Ziggy: can see

Buzzy: We're friends

Ziggy, Dizzy: we're friends

Buzzy: We're friends in need

Ziggy, Dizzy, Flaps: friends in need

Buzzy: And friends indeed

Friends indeed
[various a-capella]

Buzzy: Take it easy lads, steady, steady.

Ziggy, Dizzy, Flaps: You're staying in the jungle...

Buzzy: W-w-watch it!

Vultures: Forevermore

Buzzy: b-bore..
