Bare Necessities

Yesterday Lowell and I went to see his granddaughter who was in the play The Jungle Book.  Her part was as a monkey and elephant.  It is always entertaining and fun to see young children in a play and you can tell they are having fun.  I also think one of the side benefits for the children comes from  learning the lyrics of some of the songs that they sing.  These lyrics will be instilled in them and come to mind when they face challenges.

Yesterday one of the songs that I think they will remember is the song "Bare Necessities".  The first stanza of the lyrics are below.

The Bare Necessities

Phil Harris, Bruce Reitherman

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
