Teddy Bears’ Picnic                                  Bratton & Jimmy Kennedy, 1932
 
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 ev’ry Bear that ever there was / Will gather there for certain, because
Today’s the day 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 gaily gad about, / They love to play and shout;
They never have any care; / At six o’clock when Mummies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed, / Because they’re tired little Teddy bears.

Ev’ry Teddy bear who’s been good / Is sure of a treat today
There’s a lot of marvellous 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 way 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

If you go down in the woods today / You’d better not go alone.
It’s lovely down in the woods today / But safer to stay at home.

For ev’ry Bear that ever there was / Will gather there for certain, because
Today’s the day 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
