Yeah…They call me Grizzly Bear.
Got long black grizzly hair.
Walk down the street and everybody stop and stare.
Oh, oh, woh… I'm wild and wooly and free,
And so you'd better not mess with me.
Let me tell ya' that I howl, yowl, growl like a Grizzly Bear.
Thay say "There go Grizzly Bear.
Got no clothes to wear."
They say I'm all hung up on being nowhere.
Yeah, but the girls they love my claws
And my great be chompin' jaws.
Let me tell ya' that I howl, yowl, growl like a Grizzly Bear.
Now I can't be chained
And I can't be tamed
And they can't kill my desire.
So baby, gimme a hug.
I'll be your bear-skin rug,
And I'll lie in front of your fire....all winter.
So, baby if you dare,
Why don'tcha come on down to my lair.
And if you got some honey to share,
I'll be waitin' for you there.
Hey, you know I'm gonna come on strong
and we can hug an' mate the whole winter long.
Let me tell ya' that I howl, yowl, growl like a Grizzly Bear.
SPOKEN: Yeah , watch out baby , here I come again . . .
Yeah, they call me Grizzly Bear.
They say I'm kooky and square.
They can say anything they want about me I don't care. (I don't care.)
Because I'm takin' it day by day,
And I'm livin' my own sweet way.
Let me tell ya' that I howl, yowl, growl like a Grizzly Bear.
