Bruce Reitherman - The Bare Necessities lyrics

[Hook 1] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Interlude 1] (You eat ants!?) Haha, you better believe it You're going to love the way they tickle (Mowgli, watch out!) [Bridge] The bare necessities of life will come to you They'll come to you! [Hook 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude 2] Have I given you a clue? (Golly, thanks Baloo!) (Pawpaw, hah! Of all the silly gibberish) C'mon Baggy, get with the beat! [Bridge] [Verse 3] So just try and relax, yeah cool it Fall apart in my backyard Cause let me tell you something little britches If you act like that bee acts, uh uh You're working too hard [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge]
