Louis Armstrong - The Bare Necessities

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
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

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

So just relax, yeah in my backyard
If you act like that bee acts,
You’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
You find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you
They'll come to you
They'll come to you oh, yes
