The Jungle Book The Bare Necessities

Song lyrics

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.

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
Well 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!

Oh man this is really living.
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.

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!
With just the bare necessities of life!
