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 trees 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!
