The Bear Lyrics by Jay Foreman

20 Songs for Kids

0

Lolloping along, lolloping along went the bear
From over here to over there
But then he fell over!

So the bear began to straighten himself up
By leaning on his front-left paw, and bending at the elbow
Then when the left was straight, he started leaning on the right paw
Bending at the elbow
With a one, two, three, ha-PUSH! And he was up again

So once again, lolloping along again, went the bear
From here to there, my friend the bear
But then he fell over again!

So this time, he focused on the right paw first
And not the left paw - that was a mistake last time
So he got some [?] on the floor by leaning on the right paw
Gripping with his bear claws
Bending at the elbow, then he took his left paw
Leaning on the floor and doing it again once more
With a one, two, three, ha-PUSH! And he was up again

So lolloping along for a third time went the bear
From over there to... not much further from there
Because he fell over again!

Well, the bear was getting sick of falling over
As you can imagine, who likes falling over?
So he took a deep breath, then he took his left paw
And he took his right paw, used them at the same time
Then he let the breath out, then he put his paws down
Took another deep breath, then he tried one more time
With a one, two, three, ha-PUSH! And he was up again

Lolloping along, lolloping a- then he fell over again!

Well, the bear now decided that he liked it on the floor
Liked it on the floor, liked it on the floor
So he didn't have to get up again
And he wouldn't fall over again!
And he wouldn't fall over again!
And he wouldn't fall over again!
