The Jungle Book movie - The Bare Necessities lyrics

rate me

Song by Phil Harris, Bruce Reitherman<br /><br>

Look for the bare necessities<br>

The simple bare necessities<br>

Forget about your worries and your strife<br>

I mean the bare necessities<br>

Old Mother Nature's recipes<br>

That brings the bare necessities of life<br>

<br>

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam<br>

I couldn't be fonder of my big home<br>

The bees are buzzin' in the tree<br>

To make some honey just for me<br>

When you look under the rocks and plants<br>

And take a glance at the fancy ants<br>

Then maybe try a few<br>

<br>

The bare necessities of life will come to you<br>

They'll come to you!<br>

<br>

Look for the bare necessities<br>

The simple bare necessities<br>

Forget about your worries and your strife<br>

I mean the bare necessities <br>

That's why a bear can rest at ease<br>

With just the bare necessities of life<br>

<br>

Now when you pick a pawpaw<br>

Or a prickly pear<br>

And you prick a raw paw<br>

Next time beware<br>

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw<br>

When you pick a pear<br>

Try to use the claw<br>

But you don't need to use the claw<br>

When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw<br>

Have I given you a clue ?<br>

<br>

The bare necessities of life will come to you<br>

They'll come to you!<br>

<br>

So just try and relax, yeah cool it<br>

Fall apart in my backyard<br>

'Cause let me tell you something little britches<br>

If you act like that bee acts, uh uh<br>

You're working too hard<br>

<br>

And don't spend your time lookin' around<br>

For something you want that can't be found<br>

When you find out you can live without it<br>

And go along not thinkin' about it<br>

I'll tell you something true<br>

<br>

The bare necessities of life will come to you<br>

<br>
