about

“Grizzly Bear” by Andy Furgeson, 2015. Inspired by the folk song “Grizzly Bear,” as published in Jane Yolen’s The Fireside Song Book of Birds and Beast (1972).

lyrics

Gonna tell you little story about (grizzly bear)
A scary little story about (grizzly bear)
Be careful when you’re going out (grizzly bear)
For the nefarious, notorious grizzly bear

One day I went walking out
Through the woods I was rambling round
I was scrambling up and ambling down
When I saw a great big grizzly, grizzly bear

He was 10 foot tall
He had razor sharp claws
Blood was dripping from his jaws
He was a great big grizzly, grizzly bear

He was wobbling and squabbling
Stomping and chomping
Walking and talking bad
He was a whoa-oh-oh-oh grizzly bear

Great big grizzly, grizzly bear
Great big grizzly, grizzly bear
Great big grizzly, grizzly bear
Great big grizzly, grizzly bear

I tried to hide but he spied me
In a flash he was beside me
Well, he looked me in the eyes
He said, “You better say goodbye, boy”

I was frozen in my tracks
I started slowly creeping back
I spun and tore off in a flash
With him racing and chasing me, grizzly bear

Great big grizzly, grizzly bear…

If you see the great bear coming
You best be swiftly running
Climb a tree, in your pants you’ll pee
But just let him be…
Whoa-oh-oh-oh grizzly bear!
