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
Up to the fair
How sweet she was
And pure and fair
The maid with honey
Up in her hair
He smelled her all
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
In summer air
The bear, the bear
And maiden fair
Oh, I'm a maid
And I'm pure and fair
I'll never dance
With a hairy bear
I called the knight
But you're a bear
All black and brown
And covered in hair
He lifted her high into the air
He sniffed an roared and he smelled her there
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair
When he lickeed the honey from her hair
From there to here
From here to there
All black and brown
And covered in hair
He smelled that girl
In summer air
The bear, the bear
And maiden fair
The bear! The bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
She sighed and she squeled and she kicked the air
Then she sang: My bear! My bear so fair!
And off they went into the summer air!
The bear! The bear!
And the maiden fair!
From there to here
From here to there
All black and brown
And covered in hair
He smelled that girl
In summer air
The bear, the bear
And maiden fair
and the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
