The other day, I met a bear.
Oh way up there, a great big bear!
The other day I met a bear,
A great big bear, oh way up there!
He looked at me, I looked at him.
He sized me up, I sized up him.
He looked at me, I looked at him.
He sized me up, I sized up him.
And so I ran, away from there.
But right behind, me came that bear.
And so I ran away from there,
But right behind me came 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, aAnd 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, oh way up there.
And so I jumped into the air,
And missed that branch oh way up there.
Now don’t you fret, and don’t you frown.
‘Cause I caught that branch, on that way back down.
Now don’t you fret and don’t your frown, ‘
Cause 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!
