the simple bear necessities
forget about your worries and your strife
i mean the bear necessities

that brings the bear necessities of life
where ever i wonder where ever i rome
i couldn't be found in my big home
the bees are buzzing in the trees
they make some honey just for me
when you look under the rocks and plants
and take a glance at the fancy ants
and maybe try a few
the bear necessities of life will come for you
they'll come for you

and 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
