"Bare Necessities" lyrics
(originally from "The Jungle Book" soundtrack)
Yeah, oh
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
Ah, come on!
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 trees
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
And maybe try a few (Haha)
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will 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
If you let's fall apart in my backyard
Let me tell you something, little britches
You're working too hard
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
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Haha
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
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
Ah, come on!
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 trees
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
And maybe try a few (Haha)
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will 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
If you let's fall apart in my backyard
Let me tell you something, little britches
You're working too hard
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
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Haha
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
