Five Little Bears

One little bear, lonely and blue,
Met a good friend, then there were two.
Two little bears, happy as could be,
Another joined in and that made three
Three little bears, looking for more,
Came across another, that made four.
Four little bears headed to a hive,
Found a bear there and that made five.
Five little bears while the day is sunny,
Eating from a bee's hive sweet golden honey.

Five little bears little bears were dancing on the floor
 One fell down and that left four
 Four little bears climbed up a tree
 One found a bee hive that left three
 Three little bears were wondering what to do

 Two little bears were looking for some fun
 One took a swim that left one
 One little bear sitting all alone
 He looked all around and then ran home.

Feeling all alone
Ran to his mother
Then there were none.

 

You Are My Teddy Bear

(Sung to the tune of: "You Are My Sunshine")

You are my teddy bear
My only teddy bear
You make me smile dear
You are my friend
You'll never know dear
How much I like you
I'm so glad you're my
Teddy Bear today.

 

A Special Bear

I am a special teddy bear.
You can hug me when your sad.
You can squeeze me when your mad.
You can sit me in your lap...
And together we can take a nap.
You'll always know I'm there.
Because I am your Special Bear!

At the zoo-zoo-zoo!"

 

The Fuzzy Bear

(Sung to the tune of: "Mary Had A Little Lamb")

I went to the zoo and saw,
Zoo and saw, zoo and saw
I went to the zoo and saw,
An animal that looked like you.

He was small and smart like you
Smart like you, smart like you.
He was small and smart like you,
but didn't go to school.

He was a fuzzy, wuzzy bear,
Fuzzy, wuzzy bear
Fuzzy, wuzzy bear,
He was a fuzzy, wuzz bear that
Lived at the zoo.

 

There Was An Old Bear

There was an old bear who lived down the hill. 
If I'm not mistaken, he's living there still. 
If you knock on his door, there under the tree, 
He'll very politely ask you in for tea.

 

 

Teddy Bears

One fine day in the woods I saw 
(hand over yo
ur eyes) 
A bear in a honey tree licking his paw  
(pretend to lick your hand) 

A bee buzzed by 
(use pointer finger to be the bee flying) 

And what do you suppose?  
(put your hands out to side as if to say you have no idea) 

The bee stung the bear on the tip of his nose  
(fly bee to your nose) 

"Ouch!" 
(hands on hips) 

Said the bear as he slid down the tree 
(pretend to slide down the tree) 

I do like the honey but I don't like the bees. 
(shaking your finger)

Bear Song 

(Sung to the tune of: "A Sailor Went to Sea")

Let me sing you a song about a bear, bear, bear 
He had nothing to wear, wear, wear. 
So he did growl 
With a great big scowl 
And he grew himself a coat of hair. 

 

Time for Sleeping

Now, its time for sleeping
 The bears go in their caves
 It Keeps them warm and cozy
 Time for lazy days
 When the snow is gone
 & the sun comes out to play
 The bears will wake up from their sleep
 and then go on to play.

 

Bears Are Sleeping

Bears are sleeping, bears are sleeping,
In their dens, in their dens,
Soon it will be spring, soon it will be spring
Wake up bears!  Wake up bears!

 

Bear Is Sleeping

(Sung to the tune of: "Frere Jacques")

Bear is sleeping.  Bear is sleeping.
Let it snow!  Let it snow!
Sleeping all the winter, sleeping all the winter.
Snug and warm, snug and warm.

Repeat the song three more times, substituting in turn one of these words
 for the word sleeping each time it appears: resting, napping, snoring.

 

Lots Of Bears Are Hibernating

Lots of bears are hibernating,
Sleeping in their dens.

 

Bears

Bears like honey
That comes from bees.
Bears like to nap
Under shady trees.
Bears can be cuddly,

When I'm happy or blue,
Here's to my Teddy Bear - 
"I love you!"

When you put them all together, 
You have a teddy bear.

The Three Bears Rap

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
Out in the forest in a wee little cottage lived
the three bears.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
One was the Mama Bear, one was the Papa
Bear, and one was the wee bear.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
Out of the forest came a walking, stalking,
pretty little Goldilocks
And upon the door she was a knockin'
Clack, clack, clack
But no one was there, unh - unh, no one was there.
So she walked right in and had herself a bowl.
She didn't care, unh - unh, she didn't care.
Home, home, home came the three bears.
"Someone's been eating my porridge!" said the Mama Bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge!" said the Papa Bear.
"Waaah Waaah Barebear" said the little Wee Bear.
"Someone's broken my chair"
CRASH!
Just then Goldilocks woke up.
She broke up the party and she beat it out of there.
"Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye" said the Mama Bear.
"Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye" said the Papa Bear.
"Waaah Waaah Barebear" said the little Wee Bear.
That's the story of the three little bears - YEAH!

   

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

Teddy bear, Teddy bear, touch your nose,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, touch your toes;
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, touch the ground,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, turn around.

Teddy bear, Teddy bear, climb the stairs,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, say your prayers;
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, turn off the light,
Teddy bear, Teddy bear, say goodnight!
