Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities,
C C A A Dm Dm G G
Forget about your worries and your strife
C C F F
I mean the bare necessities, old Mother Nature's recipes,
C C Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
that brings the bare necessities of life


G G C C
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
G G C C C7 C7
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
F F Dm Dm
The bees are buzzin' in the tree,
C C Am Am
To make some honey just for me
D D D7 D7
When you look under the rocks and plants,
G G G7 G7
and take a glance at the fancy ants,
C C A A
Then maybe try a few
Dm Dm G G C C
The bare necessities of life will come to you


C C F F
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities,
C C A A Dm Dm G G
Forget about your worries and your strife
C C F F
I mean the bare necessities, that's why a bear can rest at ease
C C Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
With just the bare necessities of life


G G C C
Now when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear,
G G C C C7 C7
And you prick a raw paw, the next time beware
F F Dm Dm
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw,
C C Am Am
When you pick a pear, try to use the claw.
D D D7 D7
But you don't need to use the claw
G G G7 G7
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
C C A A
Have I given you a clue?
Dm Dm G G C C
The bare necessities of life will come to you,
Dm Dm G G C C
they'll come to you!

Cause let me tell you something, little britches.
C C C7 C7
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh, you're working too hard
F F
And don't spend your time lookin' around,
C C C7 C7
For something you want that can't be found
D D D7 D7
When you find out you can live without it,

And go along not thinkin' about it.

Dm Dm G G C C
The bare necessi ties of life will come to you
