The Bare Necessities - Dr. John&The Nite Trippers
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 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 the fancy ants
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 working too hard
Don't spend your time just looking around
For something you want that can't be found
You'll find 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
Walk and love
Pounce with a roof above
Talking 'bout the bare necessities of life
Wisdom understand sleep is something you must keep
These are very stright
These are the bare necessities of life
