Lyrics:
"Ha Ha Ha", says Mama Bear as she irons Daddy's holey underwear
and "Hee Hee Hee", says Daddy bear as Junior pours honey all on sister hair
Anyway you know they live happily ever after
Well, "Ho ho ho" say the little fish
as the sad fisherman goes home without a hitch
But "Hee hee hee" says the fisherman
with his lady burning french fries in the frying pan
(This is so silly man)
"Hee hee hee" says you to me
(Man I don't feel like going through with this, this is really silly)
Oh man, I wanna die
'cause walking around on the ground is really cramping my high
I sure don't wanna live without you forever after, no.
Now what does all this have to do with the three little bears?
Well, I was just feeling blue, 'cause I really care
That you're still gone from me and I'm as sad as I can be
So I'll sing and play this tune until you come back home to me
