Little Bear

Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping little bear
You will sleep all winter
Through the cold, cold winter, little bear
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, little bear
You will wake in springtime, in the warm, warm springtime, little bear, little bear

Teddy Bears Picnic

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.
Ev'ry Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to each
and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Teddy Bear's have their picnic.
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout.
They never have any care;
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
CHORUS
Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
CHORUS

Teddy Bear

Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground
Teddy bear, teddy bear, reach up high
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the sky
Teddy bear, teddy bear, bend down low
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your toes
Teddy bear, teddy bear, go upstairs
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say your prayers
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn out the light
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say goodnight

The Bear Went Over the Mountain

Sung To: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow

The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see

To see what he could see,
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

Five Little Bears (counting up)

One little bear
Wondering what to do
Along came another
Then there were two!

Two little bears
Climbing up a tree
Along came another
Then there were three!

Three little bears
Ate an apple core
Along came another
Then there were four!

Four little honey bears
Found honey in a hive
Along came another
Then there were five!

Five Little Bears (counting down)

Five little bears
Heard a loud roar
One ran away
Then there were four!

Four little bears
Climbing up a tree
One slid down
Then there were three!

Three little bears
Deciding what to do
One fell asleep
Then there were two!

Two little bears
Having lots of fun
One went home
Then there was one!

One little bear
Feeling all alone
Ran to his mother
Then there were none!

Time for Sleeping
Now, its time for sleeping
The bears go in their caves
It Keeps them warm and cozy
Time for lazy days
When the snow is gone & the sun comes out to play
The bears will wake up from their sleep 
and then go on to play.

Five Little Bears
Five little bears little bears were dancing on the floor
One fell down and that left four
Four little bears climbed up a tree
One found a bee hive that left three 
Three little bears were wondering what to do
One chased a bunny rabbit that left two
Two little bears were looking for some fun 
One took a swim that left one
One little bear sitting all alone 
He looked all around and then ran home.

The Bear
Sung to: The Littlest worm

The other day (the other day),
I met a bear (I met a bear),
Away up there (away 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 a 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)
Away up there (away up there)
And so I jumped into the air,
And missed that branch away up there.

Now don't you fret (now don't you fret)
And don't you frown (and don't you frown)
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,
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.

The end, the end (the end, the end)
The end, the end (the end, the end)
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!

Going on a Bear Hunt

Going on a bear hunt
Gonna catch a big one
I'm not afraid (shake head no)
What's that up ahead (shade eyes with hand, look around)
A field:

Can't go around it,
Can't go under it, 
Can't go over it
Gotta go through it (rub hands together)

A lake (swimming motion)

A mud puddle (cup hands together, suction sound)

A tree (climbing motion)

A cave (reaching out in the dark)

What's this? I feel something...
It has a nose
eyes
ears
fur
It's a bear!
RUN!!!

Run away, through actions backward
Out of the cave (you can see)
A tree ( climbing motion)
A mud puddle ( suction hands, move fast)
A lake (swimming motion)
A field (rub hands together)

Whew!
We're home
I'm not afraid!
