Big bear on the forest park
Looking for a tourist he can tear apart
And bring back home to his family and friends
Little bitty brown bear walking through the forest
Finding little berries on berry trees and eating them
This is the life of a bear…
Wondering when the winter's gonna come
Hibernating in a beautiful cave with a fire at night
This is the life of a bear…
Walking through the stream in the winter
Eating them salmon when they're swimming upstream
This is the life of a bear

The first bear comes and people fly
Second ear comes and people are frightened to death
You will hide, you will care, but you won't understand
Bears all've got bear claws
Bears live under bear laws
And bears will band together
This is the life of a bear

The next bear comes and people fly
People won't sleep in the woods tonight
They'll go back to the neighborhoods
Because they won't understand
Bears all've got bear claws
Bears live under bear laws
And bears will ban together
This is the life of a bear
