Jay Foreman - The Bear lyrics

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!
