One day I went
into the woods
and away out there
I saw a bear
(repeat all together)
He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him
(repeat all together)
He said to me
why don't you run
you know a chase
would be more fun.
(repeat all together)
And so I ran
away from there
But I looked behind
and saw that bear
(repeat all together)
In front of me
there was a tree
A great big tree
O glory be!
(repeat all together)
The nearest branch
was ten feet up
I'd have to jump
and trust my luck
(repeat all together)
And so I jumped
into the air
But I missed that branch
a way up there
(repeat all together)
Now don't you fret
and don't you frown
cause I caught that branch
on the way back down
(repeat all together)
This is the end
there is no more
until I meet
that bear once more!
