Phil Harris – The Bare Necessities Ukulele Chords

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 necessi ties of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzing 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

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 necessi ties of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear,
And you prick a raw paw, the 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 pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you,
they’ll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it, fall apart in my backyard.
Cause let me tell you something, little britches.
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh, you’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time looking around,

For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it,
And go along not thinking about it.
I’ll tell you something true
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, old Mother Nature’s recipes,
That brings the bare necessi ties of life
