- Verses:
- If you go down in the woods
today, You're in for 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!
-
- If you go down in the woods
today, You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out 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!
-
- Chorus:
- Picnic time for teddy bears,
- The little teddy bears are
having a wonderful time today,
Watch them, catch them unaware,
- As see them picnic on their
holiday.
See them gaily dance about,
They love to play and shout, they never have any care.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies will take them home
to bed,
Because they're tired little teddy bears.
