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 brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam (wherever I roam)

I couldn't be fonder of my big home (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

Then maybe try a few

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 (and your strife)

I mean the bare necessities

That's why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

Just try and relax, yeah, in my backyard (in my backyard)

'Cause let me tell ya, boy, you're workin' too hard (you're workin' too hard)

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 come to you

Just try and relax, yeah, in my backyard (in my backyard)

'Cause let me tell ya, boy, you're workin' too hard (you're workin' too hard)

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 come to you
