The bare necessities

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 buzzing 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
And maybe try a few,
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.

Now, when you pick a paw-paw, or a prickly pear
Then you prick a raw paw, next time beware!
Don’t pick a 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 paw-paw,
Have I given you a clue?
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!
