Nashville Kids' Sound - I Met A Bear Lyrics

The other day The other day
I met a bear I met a bear
A-way up there A-way up there
A great big bear. A great big bear
The other day I met a bear.
A great big bear a-way up there

He looked at me. He looked at me.
I looked at him. I looked at him.
He sized up me. He sized up me.
I sized up him. I sized up him.
He looked at me. I looked at him.
He sized up me. I sized up him.

He said to me, He said to me,
“Why don’t you run? Why don’t you run?
I see you don’t I see you don’t
Have any gun.” Have any gun.”
He said to me “Why don’t you run?
I see you don’t have any gun.”

And so I ran And so I ran
Away from there, Away from there.
And right behind And right behind
Me was that bear. Me was that bear
And so I ran away from there
And right behind me was that bear

Ahead of me Ahead of me
I saw a tree I saw a tree
A great big tree A great big tree
Oh, golly gee. Oh, golly gee
Ahead of me I saw a tree.
A great big tree, oh, golly gee

The lowest branch The lowest branch
Was 10 feet up Was 10 feet up
I had to jump I had to jump
And trust my luck And trust my luck
The lowest branch was 10 feet up.
I had to jump and trust my luck

And so I jumped And so I jumped
Into the air Into the air
And missed that branch And missed that branch
A-way up there A-way up there
And so I jumped into the air
And missed that branch a-way up there

Now don’t you fret Now don’t you fret
And don’t you frown And don’t you frown
I caught that branch I caught that branch
On the way back down On the way back down
Now don’t you fret and don’t you frown
I caught that branch on the way back down

That’s all there is That’s all there is
There is no more There is no more
Until I meet Until I meet
That bear once more That bear once more
That’s all there is, there is no more
Until I meet that bear once more

The end, the end The end, the end
The end, the end The end, the end
The end, the end The end, the end
The end, the end The end, the end
The end, the end, the end, the end
This time it really is the end!
