Look for the Bare Necessities, the simple Bare Necessities;
Forget about your worries and your strife.
I mean the Bare Necessities, or 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 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.
When you pick a paw-paw or prickly pear.
And you prick a raw paw next time beware.
Don't pick the prickly pear by paw
When you pick a pear try to use the claw.
But you don't need to use the claw when you pick a pair
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, the simple Bare Necessities;
Forget about your worries and your strife.
I mean the bare necessities, or Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life.
So just try to relax in my back yard.
If you act like that bee acts you're workin' to hard.
Don't spend your time just 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.
They'll come to you!
