[Chorus 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 trees To make some honey just for me When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at them fancy ants And then maybe, well, try a few The bare necessities of life will come to you [Chorus 2] Looking 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] Wherever I wander, wherever I roam I couldn't be fonder of my big home The bees are buzzin' in the trees Make some honey just for me You look under the rocks and plants And take a glance, fancy ants Maybe try yourself a few The bare necessities of life will come to you [Chorus 2] Looking 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 [Outro] Wherever I wander, whenever I roam I couldn't be fonder of my big home The bees are buzzin' in the trees To make some honey just for me When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants And maybe try a few, haha, try one The bare necessities of life They'll come to you They have come to you
