If you go down to the woods today

                         You're sure of a big surprise.

                         If you go down to the woods today

                         You'd better go in disguise.

                         For every bear that ever was there will gather

                         there for certain because

                         Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

                          Every teddy Bear who's been good

                          Is sure of a treat today.

                          And there's lots of marvelous 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

                          If you go down to the woods today

                          You'd better not go alone.

                          It's lovely down in the woods today

                          But safer to stay at home.

                          For every bear that ever was there

                          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 a care.

                           At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies

                           Will take them home to bed.

                           Because they're tired little teddy bears.

                           BEARS SONG

                         (TUNE:  POP GOES THE WEASEL)  

                           Goldilocks came to a house in the woods.

                            Inside was all quiet.

                           She saw cereal in three different bowls

                           And said, "I think I'll try it."

                          "The first bowl is much too hot.

                             The second's too cold - I hate it!

                           But the third bowl tastes just right!"

                           So Goldie quickly ate it!

                           Goldilocks went to another room

                           Inside all was quiet.

                           She found three chairs, looked at each,

                           And said, "I think I'll try it."

                           "The first chair is much too hard.

                             The second's too soft, I fear,

                             But the third chair feels just right!"

                             Then she sat and broke it.  Oh, dear!

                            Goldilocks next climbed into a bed.

                            And after she closed her eyes

                            The three bears came back to their home,

                            And found her - what a surprise!

                           "Who's in my bed?" cried Baby Bear.

                           "Who's that in our house?"

                           Goldilocks awoke and ran away

                           As quickly as a mouse.

         SLEEPING

  (Tune:  Sing a Song of 

                     Sixpence)

    Build a Snowman

       (Tune Frere Jacques)

      Now it's time for sleeping,

      The bears go in their caves,

      Keeping warm and cozy, 

      Time for lazy days.

      When the snow is gone

      And the sun comes out to play.

      The bears will wake up from

        their sleep,

      And then go on their way.

              Build a snowman

              Big and round,

              Big and round.

              Sun is shining on him

              Sun is shining on him,

              He's all gone

               He's all gone.
