A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear!
They danced and spun, right to the fair!
Oh, sweet she was, and pure, and fair!
The maid with honey up in her hair!
He smelled her on the summer air!
The maid with honey up in her hair!
From there, to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
He smelled that girl on the summer air!
The bear! The bear! And the maiden fair!
Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
From there to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered with hair!
She sighed and she squealed and she kicked the air!
Then she sang: My bear! My bear so fair!
From there to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
