Roger Bart
Roger Bart (born September 29, 1962) is an American actor and singer who has received Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Early life
Bart was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, the son of a teacher and a chemical engineer, and grew up in Bernardsville, New Jersey. His uncle is journalist Peter Bart.
Career
He made his Broadway debut in Big River as Tom Sawyer in 1987. Additional theatre credits include Jonathan in the Alan Menken/Tim Rice musical King David, Harlequin in Triumph of Love, Snoopy in the Broadway revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (for which he won the Drama Desk Award and a Tony), Carmen Ghia and later Leo Bloom in The Producers (earning Drama Desk and Tony nominations), and The Frogs at Lincoln Center, which reunited him with fellow Producers star Nathan Lane and Susan Stroman.
In 1996 and 1997, Bart appeared as Bud Frump in the USA national tour of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
On television, Bart played George Carlin's son on The George Carlin Show (1994), and on Bram and Alice (2002) he portrayed Bram's assistant, Paul Newman. He became widely known to viewers with his portrayal of George Williams, the unhinged homicidal pharmacist in love with Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), on Desperate Housewives, which earned him a SAG Award.
The Bare Necessities
"The Bare Necessities" is a song, written by Terry Gilkyson, from the animated 1967 Disney film The Jungle Book, sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli. Originally, it was written for an earlier draft of the movie that was never produced. The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the other songs of the film, kept this as the only song used from the previous version. A reprise of the song was sung by Sebastian Cabot as Bagheera and Phil Harris as Baloo at the end of the film. Van Dyke Parks worked on the arrangement, which was his first paid gig after moving to California. The song was also sung by Louis Armstrong. In 1967, "The Bare Necessities" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. A hip-hop version of the song performed by Lou Rawls was used as the theme song for Jungle Cubs.
It has been suggested that the original trumpet solo was played by Cappy Lewis.

The Bare Necessities
by: DisneyDust it off, break it down
Get to what we're talkin' about
Do what we're talkin' about
Don't try and hide it now
You can keep working it out
So you can keep on working it out
'Cause I see how he's putting you down
I just can't be around
What you doing this for?
'Cause the light in you started to fade
Don't let it get away
Girl, you're worth so much more
Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you got to see
Don't waste the pretty
Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Just look at how lucky we are
This life we're livin' in
You gotta follow your heart
See, you know I'm never too far
Away from the pain in your eyes
I can see your disguise
But it's not too late
'Cause I know you can turn this around
Don't be scared, work it out
And listen when I say
Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
'Cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you got to see
Don't waste the pretty
And just in case you need reminding
Well you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
And never noticing you hiding
'Cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
'Cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you got to see
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
(Don't waste the pretty)
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
'Cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you got to see
