Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Added: 02-22-1998
Original Author: Unknown
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

Wake up now,

Take a bow.

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
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!

Sitting on a kitchen chair.
Cinnamon sugar in a shaker.

Like a baker.
Sprinkle it on buttered toast.
