The Bare Necessities

Lyrics from The Jungle Book (Live-Action)

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 recipe
That brings 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 them fancy ants
Then 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

So just relax in my backyard
If you act like that bee acts
You're workin' too hard

Don't spend your time just lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
You'll find that you can live without it
Go along not thinking 'bout it

I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life
The bare necessities of life will come to you

Water and love
A house with a roof above
Talking 'bout the bare necessities of life
Wisdom, sleep
Good health is something you must keep
These are the bare necessities of life
