Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worry 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,
and maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you, they'll come to you
