THE OTHER DAY I MET A BEAR
(Note: Group (G) follow leader (L), then both (B))
L: The other day
G: The other day
L: I met a bear
G: I met a bear
L: Up in the woods
G: Up in the woods
L: A way up there
G: A way up there
B: The other day I met a bear, up in the woods away
up there
I looked at him He looked at meI sized up
himHe sized up me
He said to meWhy don't you runI see you ain't
Got any gun
And so I ran Away from there And right behind
Me was that bear
And then I saw Ahead of me A great big tree
Oh, Lordy me
The nearest branch Was ten feet up I'd have to
jump And trust to luck
And so I jumped Into the air I missed that
branch Away up there
Now don't you fret And don't you frown Cause I
caught that branch On the way back down
That's all there is There ain't no more Unless
I meet That bear once more

We used to sing this in the Girl Scouts
