Goin' on a Bear Hunt
I'm not afraid
It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
The birds are singing
The bees are buzzing

What's that?
Tall grass
(Sweeping arm motions making swishing sounds)

Going on a Bear Hunt
I'm not afraid

What's that?
It's a tall tree
(Arm motion climbing up then climbing back down )

Going on a Bear hunt
I'm not afraid

What's that?
Ohh, it's mud
(March through the mud making sloshing mud sounds )

Going on a Bear Hunt
I'm not afraid

What's that?
It's a river
We're going to have to swim
(Swim the river)

Going on a Bear Hunt
I'm not afraid

What's that?
Ohh it's a dark cave
(Make gestures and sounds)

I can't see anything
I can feel something
I can hear something
We better take out our flashlights
(Take out flashlight and flick it on)

Oh it's a bear
RUN!

(Repeat the sequence in reverse quickly and dramatically,
slapping thighs and doing all the actions for each verse.)
