'The Bare Necessities'

Postby mtngal » Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:21 pm

Sparkle's post about the guy from Q made me think about "The Bare Necessities" song from the Jungle Book movie. He actually gives new meaning to the term! :) Anyway I had to look up the lyrics and they are right on as a motto for us rvwomen. In case you don't remember (or horrors! never saw the movie!).....here are the lyrics.....

""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 brings 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!

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

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
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 pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you""

That was one of my favorite movies, and I had the cassette tape too I played the music
for my little kids on the bus (way back then) used to sing right along too, thanks for
the memories, great lyrics.

Hmmm, guess the "bare necessities" would be different depending on who you are and your circumstances? food, water, shelter, medical needs taken care of, chocolate, glass of wine, beautiful view, good friend, family, possibilities, etc. carold

I guess we could pare down "stuff", but I think very few of us could live that fruegal. No phones, TV, extra vehicles,
computers.... I love my creature comforts. :lol:

I woke up yesterday morning with, "Don't cry for me, Argentina" from Evita going through my head. I've never even seen the movie. I think I was channeling Madonna. :roll:
