Baloo: Look, now it's like this, little britches. All you've got to do is...
(singing): Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare nevessities,
Are Mother Nature's recipies
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 buzzing 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...
Mowgli: You eat ants?
Baloo: Ha-ha, you better believe it! And you're gonna love the way they tickle.
[Rock almost falls on Mowgli]
Bagheera: Mowgli, look out!
Baloo: The bare necessities of life will come to you
Mowgli (trying to catch an ant): When?
Baloo: 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 paw-paw
Or a prickly pear
Mowgli (pricking finger): Ow!
Baloo: And you prick a raw paw
Well, 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 pair of the big paw-paw
Have I given you a clue?
Mowgli: Golly, thanks, Baloo!
Bagheera: Paw-paw, ha! Of all the silly gibberish
Baloo (pulling Bagheera by the tail): Come on, Baggy, get with the beat!
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Mowgli: They'll come to me!
Baloo: They'll come to you
