Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
The bare necessities of life will come to you
[Instrumental]
Alright, Benny
[Instrumental]
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife, ooh
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
[Outro]
Wherever I wander (Wherever I wander)
Wherever I roam (Wherever I roam)
I couldn't be fonder (I couldn't be fonder)
Of my new home (Of my new home)
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
The bare necessities of life will come to you
The bare necessities, the bare necessities
The bare necessities of life will come to you
