The Bear Song

(same tune as "The Littlest Worm")
-
The other day
- I met a bear
- A great big bear
- Away out there! (repeat)
He looked at me
- I looked at him
- He sized up me
- I sized up him! (repeat)
He said to me
- "Why don't you run?
- I see you ain't
- Got any gun!" (repeat)
And so I ran
- Away from there
- But right behind
- Me was that bear! (repeat)
Ahead of me
- There was a tree
- A great big tree
- Oh, glory be! (repeat)
The nearest branch
- Was ten feet up
- I'd have to jump
- And trust my luck! (repeat)
And so I jumped
- Into the air
- But I missed that branch
- Away up there! (repeat)
Now don't you fret
- Now don't you frown
- 'Cause I caught that branch
- On the way back down! (repeat)
That is the end
- There ain't no more
- Unless I meet
- That bear once more! (repeat)
And so I met
- That bear once more
- Now he's a rug
- On my bedroom floor! (repeat)
