Song lyricsFather's hunting in the forest. Mother's cooking in the home. I must go to fetch the water Till the day that I am grown. Till I'm grown. Till I'm grown. I must go to fetch the water Till the day that I am grown. Then I will have a handsome husband And a daughter of my own. And I'll send her to fetch the water. I'll be cooking in the home. Then I'll send her to fetch the water I'll be cooking in my home. |

NotesThe song is included in The Jungle Book Movie Songs. In a deliberate effort to keep the score light, this song as well as the Sherman Brothers' other contributions to the score generally concern darker subject matter than the accompanying music would suggest. The song was described as a "siren song" with Indian overtones. (wikipedia) Watch songs from movie original soundtrack |
