Bowling For Soup The Bare Necessities Lyrics

The Bare Necessities 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



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!







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







The bare necessities of life will come to you
