The Bare Necessities Lyrics

Look for the bare necessities,
The simple bare necessities;
Forget about your worries and your strife.
I mean the bare necessities,
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life.

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
I couldn't be fonder of my big home.
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me.
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at fancy ants,
Then maybe try a few,
The bare necessities of life will come to you,
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities...

Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear,
And you pick a raw paw, well next time beware.
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw,
When you pick a pear, try to use the claw.
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you,
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities…

So just try and relax, yeah cool it.
Fall apart in my backyard.
‘Cause let me tell you something, little britches
If you act like that bee acts,
You're working too hard.
Don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found.
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it,
I#ll tell you something true,
The bare necessities of life will come to you.
