Look for the
- -
Bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
- - -
Forget about your worries and your strife
- - -
I mean the bare necessities
Bb - Bb7 -
Or 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
- -
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
Bb - Bb7 -
That's why a bear can rest at ease
-- -- -- -- -- -- -
With just the bare necessities of life
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!
Look for the
- -
Bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
- - -
Forget about your worries and your strife
- - -
I mean the bare necessities
Bb - Bb7 -
Or Mother Nature's recipes
-- -- -- -- -- -- -
That bring the bare necessities of life
So just try to relax, in my backyard
-
If you act like that bee acts, you're working too hard
- - -
Don't spend your time just 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
-- -- --
They'll come to you!
