the 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 bring the bare necessities to 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
when you look under the rocks and plants
take a glance at the fancy ants
and maybe try a few

then 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 worry and your strife
i mean the bear necessities
that's why a bear can rest at ease
with just the bare necessities of life

and don't spend your time looking around
for something you want that can't be found
when you find out you can live without it
and you go along not thinking about it
i'll tell you something true

the bare necessities of life will come to you.
