My Own Home



"My Own Home" is a song from The Jungle Book sung by Shanti (referred to only as "The Girl" in the original film). The song is sung near the end of the film as she goes to fetch the water, during which Mowgli spies upon her and decides to follow her back to her village. Shanti can be heard humming the song again in The Jungle Book 2.

Lyrics
My own home, My own home, Hmmm...

My own home, Father'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. Then I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in the home.

Hmmm... Ooooh... Then I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in the home.
