Bare Necessities

Look for the bare necessities

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 of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam

Couldn't be fonder of my big home

The bees are buzzing 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 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

Or you prick a raw paw

Next time beware

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw

When you pick the pear

Try to use a claw

But you don't need to use a claw

When you pick the pear of a big pawpaw

Have I given you a clue? Hmm?

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Will come to you

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 go along not thinking about it

I'll tell you something true

Just try and relax

Yeah, cool it

Fall apart in my backyard

Let me tell you something, little ?????

See that bee over there?

You're working too hard

The bare necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you

They'll come to you

They'll come to you

They'll come to you
