Bare Necessities (From the Jungle Book)

Jungle Book: Bare Necessities - The Broadway Theatre Players

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 you just 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 paw-paw

Or a prickly pear

And you prick a raw paw

Next time beware

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw

When a 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

Have I given you a clue

The bare necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you

So just try to relax yeah cool it

In my backyard

You know something

If you act like that bee acts

You're working much too hard

And don't spend your time just looking 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

Old mother nature's recipes

That bring the bare necessities of life

That bring the bare necessities of life
