We don’t choose it, we just use it, birds, lions, too.

The law of the jungle means we can all be free.

Tigers, wolves, panthers, snakes, bears, little bees.

It isn’t hard to follow, it’s very easy to see, that the law of the jungle protects you and me.

If you’re cute or ugly, big, long, short or small, it really doesn’t matter, jungle law is for all.

It isn’t hard to follow, it’s very easy to see, that the law of the jungle protects you and me.

(Dell’Atti) Baloo: No! It’s time for a song! Come on, Bagheera!

Song Nice and Easy Sitting in the shade under a big tree, waiting for a fruit to fall next to me.

Listening to the water in a little stream, waiting for the night to take me to my dreams.

Take it nice and easy, enjoy what each day brings.

Take it nice and easy, don’t worry about a thing.

Take it nice and easy, don’t rush your days away.

Take it nice and easy, enjoy every single day.

Swinging in the jungle across from tree to tree.

Listening to the birds, they fly above me.

Speaking to hyenas, they laugh and they sing.

Watching all the monkeys to branches they swing.

Take it nice and easy, enjoy what each day brings.

Take it nice and easy, don’t worry about a thing.

Take it nice and easy, don’t rush your days away.

Take it nice and easy, enjoy every single day.
