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
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 pawpaw 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 pawpaw
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 backyard
If you act like that bee acts, you're working 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!
