The Bare Necessities From "The Jungle Book" Composed by Terry Gilkyson 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 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!
