Lyrics:
The Vultures:
We're your friends

Rocky:
They're your friends

The Vultures:
We're your friends
Until the bitter end
When you're down-in
Who comes around
To pluck you up
When you are down?
When you're out
And the cover picks you
Up off the floor

The Vultures/Rocky:
Aha Aha Aha
That's what friends are for

The Vultures:
When you're lost
In dire need
Who's at your side
At lightning speed?
And when you're outside looking in,
Who's there to open the door?

Rocky:
That's what friends are for

The Vultures:
You know the zebra,
The hyena, and the kangaroo,
The cobra and the lion
All agree it's true
We're fond of every creature
Coming down the pike

Rocky:
In fact, they've never met an animal they didn't like

The Vultures:
To all that's near,
To all your chums,
You have it clear
When danger comes.
And so we're eager to extend
A friendly claw

Rocky:
That's what friends are for

The Vultures:
You know the armadillo,
Elephant, and wild boar

Rocky:
The cheetah and the anteater
They adore

The Vultures:
We even dined with the rhino
And his shiny spike

Rocky:
In fact they've never met an animal they didn't like

The Vultures:
So you can see

Rocky:
We're friends in need

The Vultures/Rocky:
And friends in need
Are friends indeed

The Vultures:
We'll keep you safe
In the jungle forevermore

The Vultures/Rocky:
That's what friends are for
