The Bear

The other day

The other day

I met a bear

I met a bear

A way up there

A way up there

A great big bear

A great big bear

The other day I met a bear

A great big bear a way up there

He looked at me

He looked at me

I looked at him

I looked at him

He sized up me

He sized up me

I sized up him

I sized up him

He looked at me I looked at him

He sized up me I sized up him

He said to me

He said to me

Why don't you run

Why don't you run

I see you don't

I see you don't

Have any gun

Have any gun

He said to me why don't you run

I see you don't have any gun

And so I ran

And so I ran

Away from there

Away from there

And right behind

And right behind

Me was that bear

Me was that bear

And so I ran away from there

And right behind me was that bear

Ahead of me

Ahead of me

I saw a tree

I saw a tree

A great big tree

A great big tree

Oh golly gee

Oh golly gee

Ahead of me there was a tree

A great big tree oh golly gee

The lowest branch

The lowest branch

Was ten feet up

Was ten feet up

I had to jump

I had to jump

And trust my luck

And trust my luck

The lowest branch was ten feet up

I had to jump and trust my luck

And so I jumped

And so I jumped

Into the air

Into the air

And missed that branch

And missed that branch

On way up there

On way up there

And so I jumped into the air

And missed that branch on way up there

Now don't you fret

Now don't you fret

And don't you frown

And don't you frown

As I caught that branch

I caught that branch

On the way back down

On the way back down

Now don't you fret and don't you frown

'Cause I caught that branch on the way back down

That's all there is

That's all there is

There is no more

There is no more

Until I meet

Until I meet

That bear once more

That bear once more

That's all there is there is no more

Until I meet that bear once more

This time it really is the end
