The Bare Necessities Lyrics & Chords By Richard M. Sherman

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necesseties
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
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 fancey ants
And 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 prickly pear
And you pick 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
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
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
And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you con live without it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
(repeat first chorus)
