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!
