The Bare Necessities

The Bare Necessities
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi
Raphaël Gualazzi:
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

Melody Gardot:
Wherever I wander
Raphaël Gualazzi:
Wherever I roam
Melody Gardot:
I couldn't be fonder
Raphaël Gualazzi:
Of my big home
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
Raphaël Gualazzi:
When you look under the rocks and plants
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Raphaël Gualazzi:
Then maybe try a few
Melody Gardot:
Ugh! No!
Raphaël Gualazzi:
The bare necessities of life
Will come to you
Melody Gardot:
They'll come to me!
Raphaël Gualazzi:
They'll come to you!
Melody Gardot:
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

Raphaël Gualazzi:
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Melody Gardot:
Or a prickly pear
Raphaël Gualazzi:
And you prick a raw paw
Melody Gardot:
Well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear,
Try to use the claw
Raphaël Gualazzi:
But you don't need to use the claw
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Melody Gardot:
Have I given you a clue?
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
The bare necessities of life
Will come to you
They'll come to you!
Raphaël Gualazzi:

Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
Bare necessities
Raphaël Gualazzi:

Melody Gardot:
Uh huh, let 'em go!
Raphaël Gualazzi:
I mean the
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
Bare necessities
Raphaël Gualazzi:
Old mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life

Melody Gardot:
Ok, bee
Raphaël Gualazzi:
So just relax!
Melody Gardot:
In my backyard
Raphaël Gualazzi:
And if you act like a bee acts,
Melody Gardot:
Man, you're workin' too hard
Don't spend your time just lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
Raphaël Gualazzi:
When you find out you can live without it
Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi:
And go along not thinkin' about it
Raphaël Gualazzi:
I'll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Melody Gardot:
They'll come to me!
Raphaël Gualazzi:
They'll come to you!
Melody Gardot:
And you too, baby

Melody Gardot:
Ain't that right, baby?
