Look for the bare necessities The sinple 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 wandar Whereve 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 plans 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
I mean the bare necessities That's why a bear can rest at ease With just teh bare necessities of life
Now, when you pick a pawpaw Or a pickly pear And you pick a raw paw Well, next time, bewere Don't pick the pricly 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
So just try and relax, yeah, cool it Fall apart in my backyard 'Cause let me tell you something, little britches If you act like those bees act, uh-uh You're workin' too hard And don't spend your time 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 somethin' true The bare necessities of life Will comes to you
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 Yes With just the bare necessities of life Yeah!
