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 could not be fonder of my country home.
The buzzing bees up in the trees,
they make some honey just for me.
When you look under the rocks and plants and
take a glance at the fancy ants and then maybe
try a few, mmm, chocolate covered, my favorite.
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 those 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 a prickly pear
and you * the wrong paw,
well next time beware.
Don't pick a prickly pear with the paw.
Next time you pick a pear,
just use the claw and you don't need to use the claw.
When you pick a pear from the big baa baa,
am I getting through?
Oh,
the bare necessities of life will come to you.
That's right, they'll come to you.
They'll come to you.
They'll come to you.
Man,
this is really good.
I'm really livin'.
So sit back,
relax,
take it easy.
Put your feet up,
rest a spell.
You know what I mean?
Because if you're buzzing around and working
like those bees way up in those trees,
uh-uh,
you're working too hard.
Cause when you spend time looking around
for something you want but can't be found,
when you find out you can live without it,
then go ahead,
not thinking about it,
I'll
tell you something true.
Tell you something true.
Tell you something true.
Oh, the bare
necessities of life will come to you.
That's right, they'll come to you.
They'll come to
you.
They'll come to you.
Look for the bare necessities,
the simple bare necessities.
Forget about your worries and your strife.
And your strife.
I mean those bare necessities.
That's why a bear can rest at ease
with just the bare necessities of life.
The bare necessities.
With just the bare necessities of life.
The bare necessities.
