Bear Necessities

Song :  G

                    C                        C7           F              F7
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities
   C                      F                      D7           G7
Forget about your worry and your strife 
                 C             C7          F                            F7
I mean the bare necessities or Mother Nature's recipes
        C                      D7    G7       C
That bring the bare necessities of life

                G7                         C    
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, 
                  G7                       C    
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
C7                F                   G7    
The bees are buzzin' in the tree 
                        C                 Am7
to make some honey just for me

    Dm                                                          
When you look under the rocks and plants 
           Dm7                             G7
and take a glance at the fancy ants, 
   C                        A7              
and maybe try a few

"You eat ants ?"
"ho ho You better believe it. And you're gonna love the way they tickle" 
"Mowgly look out !"

                Dm             G7    
The bare necessities of life 
                    C        Am   Dm
will come to you, 
           G7           C
they'll come to you

l ook for the bear necessities
The simple bear necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bear necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bear necessities of life

Now when you pick a paw paw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a wrong paw
Well 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

"Have I given you a clue?"
"Thanks Baloo"
"Paw paw, what a silly..."
"Come on Bhaghee get with the beat."

The bear necessities of life will come to you

"They'll come to me"

They'll come to you
