The Bear

The other day

I met a bear

Away up there

A great big bear

The other day I met a bear

A great big bear away up there

He looked at me

I looked at him

He sized up me

I sized up him

He looked at me I look at him

He sized up me I sized up him

He said to me

Why don't you run

I see you don't

Have any gun

He said to me Why don't you run

I see you don't have any gun

And so I ran

Away from there

And right behind

Me was that bear

And so I ran away from there

And right behind me was that bear

Ahead of me

I saw a tree

A great big tree

Oh golly gee

Ahead of me there was a tree

A great big tree oh golly gee

The lowest branch

Was ten feet up

I had to jump

And trust my luck

The lowest branch was ten feet up

I had to jump and trust my luck

And so I jumped

Into the air

And missed that branch

Away up there

And so I jumped into the air

And missed that branch away up there

Now don't you fret

And don't you frown

I caught that branch

On the way back down

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

I caught that branch on the way back down

That's all there is

There is no more

Until I meet

That bear once more

That's all there is there is no more

Until I meet that bear once more

The end the end

The end the end

The end the end

The end the end

The end the end the end the end

This time it really is the end the end
