Bare Necessities Lyrics & Chords By Los Lobos

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
