Look for the 
                         -         -
Bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
       -                -           -          
Forget about your worries and your strife
    -      -      -
I mean the bare necessities
        -            - 
Or 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
        -              -
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


                                  
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!

So just try to relax, in my backyard
                                                   -  
If you act like that bee acts, you're working too hard
        -                 -            -   
Don't spend your time just lookin' around
                           -              -   
For something you want that can't be found
               -              -
When you find out you can live without it
      --   --   --    --  
And go along not thinkin' about it
              -        
I'll tell you something true


               -             -        --  --  --
The bare necessities of life will come to you
          --   --  -- 
They'll come to you!
