The OTHER DAY I MET A BEAR in the Forest Tennis Shoes Lyrics Words text scout camp Bare Ladies Song
The other day,
the other day
I met a bear,
I met a bear
A great big bear,
a great big bear
A way out there,
a way out there
The other day
I met a bear
A great big bear
A way out 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
Got any gun
got any gun
He said to me
Why don’t you run
I see you don’t
Got any gun
And so I ran
and so I ran
Away from there
away from there
But right behind
but right behind
Me was that bear
me was that bear
And so I ran
Away from there
But right behind
Me was that bear
Ahead of me
Ahead of me
There was a tree
There was a tree
A great big tree
A great big tree
Oh glory be
Oh glory be
Ahead of me
There was a tree
A great big tree
Oh glory be
The nearest branch
The nearest bray
Was ten feet up
Was ten feet up
I’d have to jump
I’d have to jump
And trust my luck
And trust my luck
The nearest branch
Was ten feet up
I’d have to jump
And trust my luck
And so I jumped
And so I jumped
Into the air
Into the air
But missed that branch
But missed that branch
Away up there
Away up there
And so I jumped
Into the air
But 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
Unless I meet
Unless I meet
That bear once more
That bear once more
That’s all there is
There is no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more
