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

You eat ants?

You better believe it. And you're

gonna love the way they tickle.

Mowgli, look out!

- The bare necessities

of life will come to you

- But when?

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

- Ow!

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 pear of the big paw paw

- Have I given you a clue?

- Golly. Thanks, Baloo.

Pawpaw.

Of all the silly gibberish.

Come on, Baghee,

get with the beat.

- The bare necessities

of life will come to you

- They'll come to me!

They'll come to you

How 'bout scratchin' that ol' left

shoulder while you're up there, Mowgli?

Now just a hair lower.

There. Right there. That's it.

Oh! This is beautiful.

That's good.

Kid, we've got to get to a tree.

This calls for some big scratchin'.

You're lots of fun, Baloo.

Right on it. Yeah!

That's delicious.

Just a little bit...

Yeah!

Yeah.

Oh, man, this is

really livin'.

So just try and relax.

Yeah. Cool it.

Fall apart in my backyard.

'Cause let me tell you somethin',

little britches.

If you act like

that bee acts...

uh-uh, you're

workin' 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 somethin' true

The bare necessities

Of life will come to you

I give up. Well, I hope

his luck holds out.

Mowgli, how 'bout you sing?

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

- Forget about your worries

and your strife

- Yeah, man.

I mean the bare necessities

That's why a bear

can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities

Of life

- Yeah!

- With just the bare necessities of life

Yeah, man!

Beautiful!

That's real jungle harmony.

- I like being a bear.

- That's my boy.

And you're gonna make one swell bear.

Why, you even sing like one.

Hey, Mowgli, how 'bout you

flickin' that old, mean fly...

of fo' your

papa bear's nose?

Ouch!

Boy, when you flick a fly,

you really...

Why you flat-nosed,

little-eyed, flaky creep!

Hey! Let go of me!

Take your flea-pickin' hands

Of fo' my cub!
