Jungle Book - Bare Necessities

Lo[G]ok for the bar[G7]e necessities, th[C]e simple bare necessit[C7]ies

Fo[G]rget about your worry a[E7]nd your strife         [A7]                     [D7]

I [G]mean the bare [G7]necessities or [C]Mother Nature's recipes    [C7]

Th[G]at bring the b[E7]are necessiti[A7]es of li[D7]fe     [G]

Wh[D7]erever I wander, wherever I r[G]oam, I couldn't be fonder of my[D7] big home               [G]                         [G7]

Th[C]e bees are buzzin' [Cm]in the tree to make some hon[G]ey just for me       [A7]

Yo[A7]u look under the rocks and plants

An[D7]d take a glance at the fancy ants, and maybe try a fe[G]w                  [E7]

Th[A7]e bare necessit[D7]ies of life will come t[G]o you, th[D7]ey'll come to you     [G]

Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worry and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, that's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bear 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 the 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

So try to relax in my backyard if you act like that bee acts, you're workin' too 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
