The Bare Necessities Lyrics

Performed by Phil Harris (Baloo) and Bruce Reitherman (Mowgli)



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
