The Bare Necessities

(Dope-dope-doo-doo, dope-doo-doo)
(Nip-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)

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

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, you know
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They will come to me
They'll come to you, hmm-hmm-hmm

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
Oh, 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

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife, uh-huh, let 'em go
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes, hmm
That brings the bare necessities of life, okay babe

So just relax
In my backyard
If you act like a bee act
Man, you're working too hard

Don't spend your time just 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
They'll come to me
They'll come to you
And you too, baby

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife, okay, babe
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

With just the bare necessities of life
Ain't that right, babe?
