But I don't know how to make fire
Now don't try to kid me mancub

What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
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
[BALOO]
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
[BALOO & MOWGLI]
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
[MOWGLI, spoken]
Yeah man
[BALOO & MOWGLI]
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
[BALOO, spoken]
Yeah

With just the bare necessities of life
[MOWGLI, spoken]
Yeah man
