The Bare Necessities (From “The Jungle Book”/Soundtrack Version) - 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
