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 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 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 |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
