The Bare Necessities - Astrud Gilberto

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

Are you putting me on…

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Do you came on son?

I have a few itches on me

And I have to keep scratching it

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

When you pick a paw-paw

Or a prickly pear

When you prick a raw paw

Next time beware

Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw

When you pick a pear

Try to use the claw

But you don’t need to use the claw

When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw

The bare necessities of life will come to you

They’ll come to you!

They’ll come to you!

They’ll come to you!

That’s it folks!
