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 working too hard (you're working 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 something 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 working too hard (you're working 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 something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
