Lyrics

Glad To Be A Bear

-1-
I?ve got a hole in my roof to let the rain come on in
And little hairs growin? out all over my skin
The honey bee is my friend, he keeps me company
I stay all night in the woods ?cause I?m very brave
And I eat bark from a tree and sleep in a cave
A cozy hole in the ground is ?home-sweet-home? to me

CHORUS:
Don?t mind the rain falling down because it cools me
And there's a nice furry coat for me to wear
And almost every day I?m glad to be... a bear

-2-
Most people hide when I come, I think they?re afraid
And I can count on one paw, the friends that I?ve made
It really hurts me sometimes when people shy away
I?m just a fun-loving guy who lives in the woods
And though I know I don?t smile as much as I should
I love the life of a bear, I?m happy every day

(CHORUS)

-3-
Now that the summer is gone it seems like I?m getting fat
So I?ll just nap for a while, and what?s wrong with that
May not wake up ?til its Spring and sleep through Christmas Day
Oh there's just nothing I?d trade for life as a bear
Don?t want to sleep in a bed or sit in a chair,
Or have to ask every time to go outside and play

(CHORUS)


I?m quite content to be just the way God planned me
So why not live just like me and you?ll go far
?Cause every day you?ll be so glad that you
You won?t be sorry, sad or mad that you
Just like a bear you?ll be so glad that you . . . just are!
