Bare Necessities

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 brings 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 trees

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 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 from the big pawpaw

Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
When you find out you can live
without.
I'll tell you something true doo doo doo doo

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
With just the bare necessities of life
