The Teddy Bear's Picnic

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
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unaware 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 mommies and daddies will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears
Every Teddy Bear who's been good is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees, they'll hide and seek as long as they please
'cause 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 unaware 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 mommies and daddies will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears

NOTES:
The recording of Teddy Bear's picnic by Henry Hall and his orchestra was used by
the armed forces all over the world in World War II as the testing signal for
their equipment.
