[BALOO]
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 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
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life
Will come to you
They'll come to you

[BALOO & MOWGLI]
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife

[MOWGLI, spoken]
Yeah man

[BALOO & MOWGLI]
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

[BALOO, spoken]
Yeah

[BALOO & MOWGLI]
With just the bare necessities of life

[MOWGLI, spoken]
Yeah man
