Bill Shontz   Teddy Bear's Picnic

TEDDY BEAR’S PICNIC
If you go down
to the woods today,
you’re in for a big surprise.
If you go down
to the woods today,
you’d better go in disguise,
For every bear that
ever there was, will gather
there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy
bears have their picnic.

Every teddy bear who’s been
good is sure of a treat today.
There’s lots of marvelous
things to eat 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.

Chorus:
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 holidays.
See them gaily gad about,
they love to play and shout,
they never have any cares.
At six o’clock their mommies
and daddies will take them
home to bed,
Because they’re tired little
teddy bears.
(last x repeat last line)

If you go down to the woods
today, you better not go alone.
It’s lovely in the woods today,
but you’re 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)
