Brian Wilson The Bare Necessities lyrics

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 buzzing in the tree
To make some honey just for me

When you look under the rocks and plants
Take a glance at the 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

Just try and relax, yeah, in my backyard

'Cause let me tell you, boy, you're working too hard
Don't spend your time poking around
For something you want that can't be found

When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you

Just try and relax, yeah, in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you, boy, you're working too hard
Don't spend your time looking around
For something you want that can't be found

When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
