Lyrics
Spoken: Hup 2, 3, 4
Added by BuddyrichiedonmoochieKeep it up 2, 3, 4 [repeat]
Mowgli: A parade [spoken]
Bagheera: Oh no. The dawn patrol again [spoken]
Colonel Hathi: Company sound off!
All: Oh, the aim of our patrol
Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill [all trumpet]
Hathi:Is a military goal!
All:Is a military goal!
Spoken: Hup 2, 3, 4
Dress it up 2, 3, 4
Sung: By the ranks or single file
Over every jungle mile
Oh we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
Hathi, Jr.:In a military style!
All:In a military style!
Mowgli: Hello, what are you doing
Hathi, Jr.: Ssh. Drilling
Mowgli: [quietly] Can I do it too?
Hathi, Jr.:Sure. just do what I do. But don't talk in rank. It's against the operations. [all spoken]
Colonel Hathi: [in the distance] To the rear march
Hathi, Jr.:The other way.Turn around [spoken]
Hup 2,3,4
Keep it up 2,3,4
Reprise
Spoken: Hup 2, 3, 4
Added by BuddyrichiedonmoochieKeep it up 2, 3, 4
Hup 2, 3, 4
Shere Khan [spoken]: What beastly luck. Confound that ridiculous Colonel Hathi
Hathi:Company sound off!!
All:Oh we march from here to there
And it doesn't matter where
You can hear us push through the deepest bush
Hup 2, 3, 4
Hathi:We're a military air
All:We're a military air [trumpet]
Bagheera:The Jungle Patrol
We're a crackerjack brigade
On a pachyderm parade
But we'd rather stroll to a waterhole
Hathi, Jr.:Hup 2, 3, 4
For a furlough in the shade!
