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 found
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 the 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
The simple
bare necessities
Forget about your worries
and your strife
I mean
the bare necessities
That's why a bear
can rest at ease
With just the bare
necessities of life
Now when you pick
a paw paw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
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
Oh man
this is really livin'
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 uh uh
You're workin' too hard
And 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
Look for
the bare necessities
The simple
bare necessities
Forget about
your worries and
your strife
I mean
the bare necessities
That's why a bear
can rest at ease
With just the bare
necessities of life
Yeah With just the bare
