THE TEDDY BEARS PICNIC LYRICS -- A SONG I ALWAYS LIKED AND NOW I KNOW WHO WROTE IT!

[Verse]

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise

If you go down in the woods today, you 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


[Verse]

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

That's the way the teddy bears have their picnic


[Bridge]

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 gaily gadabout

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

'Cause they're tired little teddy bears


[Verse]

If you go down in the woods today, you better not go alone

It's lovely down in the woods today, 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

"The Teddy Bears' Picnic" was composed by American musician John Walter Bratton in 1907 (originally as an instrumental piece called "The Teddy Bear Two-Step"). The famous lyrics we know today were added later, in 1932, by the Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy. [1, 2]
