We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re going to catch a big one
I’m not afraid
It’s a beautiful day.
Uh-oh.
Grass.
Tall, wavy grass.
We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
We’ll have to go THROUGH it!
Swish swish.
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re going to catch a big one
I’m not afraid
It’s a beautiful day.
Uh-oh.
Mud.
Thick, squishy mud.
We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
We’ll have to go THROUGH it!
Squish, squish.
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re going to catch a big one
I’m not afraid
It’s a beautiful day.
Uh-oh.
A river.
A deep, cold river.
We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
We’ll have to go THROUGH it!
Splash, splash.
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re going to catch a big one
I’m not afraid
It’s a beautiful day.
Uh-oh.
A snowstorm.
A howling, yowling snowstorm.
We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
We’ll have to go THROUGH it!
Whoo, whoo.
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re going to catch a big one
I’m not afraid
It’s a beautiful day.
Uh-oh.
A cave.
A dark, scary cave.
We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
We’ll have to go THROUGH it!
Tiptoe, tiptoe.
Uh oh. What’s that I see?
Two big furry ears.
Two big bright eyes.
A big wet nose –
It’s a BEAR!
Quick, quick!
Back through the cave (tiptoe, tiptoe)
Back through the snowstorm (whoo, whoo)
Back through the river (splash, splash)
Back through the mud (squish, squish)
Back through the tall grass (swish, swish)
Back to our house
Run up the stairs
Jump into bed
Pull up the covers.
Whew! We’re safe.
….What’s that at the door?
Crawl out of bed
Tiptoe down the stairs
Open the door
It’s the BEAR!
And he says,
“You forgot your flashlight!
