Bagheera walked into the bar

And poured himself a drink

His fur was stained with the blook of monkeys

And he needed time to think The man at the bar said

"What are you doing here?"

Bagheera let go a low soft purr

That kept the man from coming near He said, "I'm Bagheera, the mighty panther

And that jungle is my home

I'm free, free in all I see

And that makes me free to roam" Sometimes to feel the music of the jungle

It can cause you pain

And the man heard Bagheera

As the entire jungle joined in the big black cat's refrain One dark night the man-cub came

To the big black cat afraid

The boy was sure that he was dying

Due to the endless stream of water that his eyes made Yeah, the cat knew why when the boy said

"I don't want to die, for these are the ways of men"

The boy cried,"Teacher, teacher I don't, understand this ache within me"

The great cat sighed and then softly he began "ndeed thou art a man's child now

And the world is yours to give and take

The time has come now for your awareness

To change forever and there's a choice for you to make" "You may remain here in the jungle

And hunt with the free people

Or if you feel the man's God calling you

Return to your kind in the village and worship at his steeple" The only thing you must do is

What you feel in your heart is true

I will hunt now and leave you on your own

To decide what to do The mighty panther went on his hunt

The secret Lord of the jungle beneath the night sky

And some say if you could have seen him

Then you'd have noticed a tear fall from his majestic eye
