Lyrics
0:09Look for the bare necessities
0:13The simple bare necessities
0:16Forget about your worries and your strife
0:20I mean the bare necessities
0:23Old mother nature's recipes
0:26That brings the bare necessities of life
0:31Wherever I wander wherever I roam
0:36I couldn't be fonder of my big home
0:41The bees are buzzin' in the tree
0:44To make some honey just for me
0:47When you look under the rocks and plants
0:50And take a glance at the fancy ants
0:53Then maybe try a few
0:56The bare necessities of life will come to you
0:59They'll come to me
1:01They'll come to you
1:04Look for the bare necessities
1:07The simple bare necessities
1:10Forget about your worries and your strife
1:14I mean the bare necessities
1:17That's why a bear can rest at ease
1:20With just the bare necessities of life
1:25Now when you pick a pawpaw
1:27Or a prickly pear
1:30And you prick a raw paw
1:32Next time beware
1:35Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
1:38When you pick a pear
1:39Try to use the claw
1:41But you don't need to use the claw
1:44When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
1:47Have I given you a clue
1:49The bare necessities of life will come to you
1:55They'll come to you
1:58Look for the bare necessities
2:01The simple bare necessities
2:04Forget about your worries and your strife
2:08I mean the bare necessities
2:19So just try and relax
2:21In my backyard
2:24If you act like that bee acts
2:27You're working too hard
2:29And don't spend your time lookin' around
2:32For something you want that can't be found
2:35When you find out you can live without it
2:38And go along not thinkin' about it
2:41I'll tell you something true
2:44The bare necessities of life will come to you
2:52Look for the bare necessities
2:55The simple bare necessities
2:58Forget about your worries and your strife
3:02I mean the bare necessities
3:06That's why a bear can rest at ease
3:08With just the bare necessities of life
3:13With just the bare necessities of life
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 tree 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 me 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 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 So just try and relax In my backyard If you act like that bee acts You're working 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 something true 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
