"The Bare Necessities" lyrics

"The Bare Necessities"

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
Are you putting me on...
The bare necessities of life will come to you

Do you came on son?
I have a few itches on me
And I have to keep scratching it

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
When you pick a paw-paw
Or a prickly pear
When 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 paw-paw
The bare necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you!
They'll come to you!
They'll come to you!
That's it folks!
