Look for the bare necessities
|
The simple bare necessities
|
Forget about your worries and your strife
|
I mean the bare necessities
|
Of mother nature's recipies
|
That bring the bare necessities of life
|
|
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
|
I can't be fonder of my big home
|
The bees are buzzing in the trees
|
To make some honey just for me
|
|
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
|
|
Look for the bare necessities
|
The simple bare necessities
|
Forget about your worries and your stife
|
I mean the bare necessities
|
That's why a bear can rest at ease
|
With just the bare necessities of life
|
|
So just relax, yeah
|
In my backyard
|
If you act like that bee acts
|
You're workin' too hard
|
|
Don't spend your time, just lookin' around
|
For something you want, can't be found
|
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 you, they'll come to you
|
They'll come to you, oh yes
|
