BARE NECESSITIES by Louis Armstrong

Look for the bare necessities
Simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Mother Nature's recipes
Make 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 trees
To make some honey just for me
You look under the rocks and plants
Take a glance at the fancy ants
And, maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Look for the bare necessities
Simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife, oh
I mean the bare necessities
Bear even rests at ease
Have the bare necessities of life
Just relax, in my backyard
And if you act like that bee acts
You're working too hard
Don't fill your time just lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
You'll find out you can live without
Go along not even thinkin' about it
Tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Will come to you
Will come to you
WIll come to you
Oh, Yeah

Gives Doug the "bare necessities" for survival: food, water, air, if needed, etc. He wouldn't be living in luxury but he'd survive.
