“If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was 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
There’s lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees they’ll hide and seek as long as they please
That’s the way 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 any cares
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies will take them back home to bed
Because they’re tired little teddy bears
If you go down in the woods today, you better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic.”
“The Teddy Bears’ Picnic” is a song consisting of a melody written in 1907 by American composer John Walter Bratton, and lyrics added in 1932 by Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy.
