Richard M Sherman The Bare Necessities
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)
