Song lyricsWe'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 with every creature Comin' down the pike. In fact, we've never met an animal We didn't like, didn't like. So you can see We're friends in need. And friends in need Are friends indeed. We'll keep you safe In the jungle for evermore That's what friends are for! |

NotesThe song is included in The Jungle Book Movie Songs and was sung by a quartet of "mop top" vultures who are making friends with Mowgli, the main character of the movie. The song was originally conceived as a rock and roll song, sung by the quartet of vultures. The vultures were even designed based on The Beatles, with moptop haircuts and mock-Liverpool accents, and would be voiced by the band, which did not come into fruition due to problems with their schedule. During production Disney decided the 1960s style rock would cause the song to be considered dated later, leading "We're Your Friends" to be changed to the barbershop quartet that appears in the film.
