Song lyrics

Hup, two, three, four
Keep it up
Two, three, four
Hup, two, three, four
Keep it up, two, three, four
Hup, two, three, four

MOWGLI [speaking]: A parade!
BAGHEERA [speaking]: Oh, no! The Dawn Patrol again.
COLONEL HATHI [yelling]: Company... sound off!

Oh, the aim of our patrol
[WINIFRED] Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill
[COLONEL HATHI] Is a military goal
[CHORUS] Is a military goal

Hup, two, three, four
Dress it up, two, three, four

By the ranks or single file
Over every jungle mile
Oh, we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
[JUNIOR] In the military style
[CHORUS] Is a military goal

Oh, we march from here to there
And it doesn't matter where
You can hear us push
through the deepest bush
Hup, two, three, four
With a military air

We're a crackerjack brigade
On a pachyderm parade
But we'd rather stroll
To a water hole
[JUNIOR] Hup, two, three, four
[CHORUS] For a furlough in the shade
