Fundamental Needs Lyrics

There was a Cro-Magnon man he had a Cro-Magnon wife

They raised Cro-Magnon kid they lived a Cro-Magnon life

One day the kid said Folks I'm as happy as can be

I can't complain but all the same there're a couple of things I need

I just need something to eat and a way to get it

Somewhere to sleep at the end of the day

Something to wear in all kinds of weather

Some way to say what I wanna say

Some time to stop and hear a story maybe paint a picture too

And some time to wonder why we're here

I think that ought to do Thank you

There was a Mycenaean man he had a Mycenaean wife

They raised Mycenaean kid they lived a Mycenaean life

One day the kid said Folks my life is swell but gee

I'm no ingrate still let me state there're a couple of things I need

I just need something to eat and a way to get it

Somewhere to sleep at the end of the day

Something to wear in all kinds of weather

Some way to say what I wanna say

Some time to stop and hear a story maybe paint a picture too

And some time to wonder why we're here

I think that ought to do Thank you

Now people come and go and cultures rearrange

But for the modern man some things never change

There are some basic wants that make our lives complete

And all these things of which I sing

Are Fundamental Needs

We all need something to eat and a way to get it

Somewhere to sleep at the end of the day

Something to wear in all kinds of weather

Some way to say what we wanna say

Some time to stop and hear a story maybe paint a picture too

And if we all take time to wonder why we're here

Where we come from and what we're doing on this earth

I think that ought to do

Don't you?
