Bare Necessities by Peter and the Test Tube Babies Lyrics

Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean those bare necessities, of 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 buzzing in the trees, to make some honey just for me
But you look under the rocks and plants, take a glance at the fancy ants
Maybe try a few (you eat ants ?!)

[Chorus]
The bare necessities of life will come to me
(will come to you) will come to me

Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
When you pick a Paw-Paw or Prickly Pear and you prick a raw paw
Next beware, don't pick a prickly pear by paw, when you a pear try and use a claw
But you don't need to use a claw when you pick a pear with a big Paw-Paw

So just try to relax, in my back yard, if you act like that bee acts, you're working too hard
Don't spend your life just looking around for something you want that can't be found
Then you find out you can live without it and go along not thinking about it
