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 ……………..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 ………………
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 ……………..can rest at ease, 

with just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a ……………………
Or a prickly ………………….
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly …………… by the paw
When you pick a …………………
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a ……………….. of the big …………………
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 ……………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.

Tom's diner

I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

It is always

Nice to see you

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

And I'm pretending

Not to see them

And Instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

There's a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

He was no one

I had heard of

And I'm turning

To the horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When I'm feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

There's a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me?

No she does not

Really see me

'Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And I'm trying

Not to notice

That she's hitching

Up her skirt

And while she's

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Is getting wet

Oh, this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As I'm listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice

And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time

Before the rain began

And I finish up my coffee

And it's time to catch the train
