Lyrics

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
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
(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
Wherever I wander, (Wherever I wander)
Wherever I roam, (Wherever I roam)
I couldn't be fonder (I couldn't be fonder )
Of my big home (Of my big home)
The bees are buzzing in the trees
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
Take a glance at those fancy ants
And maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Oh, they'll come to you!
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true-oo-oo
An ape like me
Can learn to be hu-oo-uman too
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Now give me the secret, mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you-oo-oo
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too-o-oo-o-oo
You'll see it's true-oo
An ape like me-ee-ee
Can learn to be human too
Can learn to be human too
Can learn to be human too
