Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean those bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's rest at ease
and bring the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my new home
I see the bees buzzin' in the trees
Tryin' to find some honey just for me
You take a glance at the rocks and plants
Don't forget about the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life are there for you
It's true!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean those bare necessities
The kind that lets an old bear rest at ease
and bring the bare necessities of life
Oh just try and relax
Ya fall asleep in my backyard
If you act like those bees act
Don't spend your time runnin' around
Lookin' for somethin' that just can't be found
I think that you and I can both agree
The world don't need another economics degree
and i'll tell ya something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
and you and you and you and you
(and Moses too...)

Well I'm the king of the jungle, kids
Oh, the jungle VIP
But I reached the top and I had to stop
And that's what botherin' me

I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
I'm tired of bein' like the other apes
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

I said oobee doo
I wanna be like you and you and you
I wanna walk like you and talk like you
Oh yes you know it's true
Even
An ape like me
Well I can learn to be human too

Now don't you try an kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Yes give me the secret, mancub
Won't ya tell me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you you!

I said oobee doo
I wanna be like you and you and you and you and you and you and you
I wanna walk like you and talk like you
Oh yes you know it's true
Even
An ape like me
Well I can learn to be human too
