Title: Teddy Bears Picnic

---------------------------------

If you go down in the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise

If you go down in the woods today

You'd 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.

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 when Mummies and Daddies

will take them home to bed,

Because they're tired little Teddy bears.

Ev'ry Teddy bear who's been good

Is sure of a treat today

There's a lot of marvellous 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.

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

If you go down in 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 Bears 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
