I always wondered what they ate at the teddy bears picnic.
I think they were trying to tell us something, but no one really listened.
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.
Every good little teddy bear
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 ways 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 unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gayly gather 'bout.
They love to play and shout.
They never have any care.
At 6 o'clock, their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired, little teddy bears.
If you go down in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today,
But it's 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.
