All of these are to be repeated all the way through the song except were it is noted.
Going on a bear hunt
I'm not scared
I've got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Tall, tall grass ahead!
Can't go over it!
Can't go under it!
Can't go around it!
Gotta go through it!
(swish, swish, swish, swish, swish)
Goin' on a bear hunt!
I'm not scared!
I’ve got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Icky, sticky, mud ahead!
Can't go over it!
Can't go under it!
Can't go through it!
Gotta go around it!
(slop, slop, slop, slop, slop)
Goin' on a bear hunt!
I'm not scared!
I’ve got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Deep, wide, river ahead!
Can't go through it!
Can't go under it!
Can't go around it!
Gotta go over it!
(paddle, paddle, paddle, paddle, paddle)
Goin' on a bear hunt!
I'm not scared!
I’ve got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Tall, tall trees ahead!
Can't go through them!
Can't go over them!
Can't go around them!
Gotta go under them!
(Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig)
Goin' on a bear hunt!
I'm not scared!
I’ve got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Deep, dark cave ahead!
Can't go over it!
Can't go under it!
Can't go around it!
Gotta go through it!
(creep, creep, creep, creep, creep)
Goin' on a bear hunt
I'm not scared
I’ve got a gun
And bullets!
Oh-no!
Fuzzy, fuzzy ears ahead...
Two green eyes ahead...
Big, big paws ahead...
Long, sharp teeth ahead...
It's a BEAR!
RUN!
Out of the cave! Run!
Under the trees! Run!
Over the river! Run!
Around the mud! Run!
Through the grass! Run!
Home at last! Whew!

Hey, hey, bo diddly bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my guitar in my hand
I would be a rockin' man
A rockin' man!
Hey, hey, bo diddly bop
I wish I was back on the block
With a surf board in my hand
I would be a surfer dude
A surfer dude!
A rockin' man!
Hey, hey, bo diddly bop
I wish I was back on the block
With a pizza in my hand
I would be a Domino's man
A Domino's man!
A surfer dude!
A rockin' man!
Other verses:
With an ice cube in my hand
I would be a penguin
A penguin!
With a basketball in my hand
I would be Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan!
Hey, hey, bo diddly bop
I'm glad I'm not back on the block
Camp Hoffman is the place for me
There's no place I'd rather be
I'd rather be: Michael Jordan, a penguin, a Domino's man, a surfer dude, a rockin' man
I said Hey, hey, bo diddly STOP!
I'm gonna buy some bird seed
For my windowsill
Just to keep him quiet
Just to keep him still
And this little birdie
He has a funny name
It's
Called
I-ga-fly-ga-flea-ga-fly-ga-ish-ka-nish-ka-ni-ga-ni-ga I-ga-fly-ga-flea-ga-fly-ga-birdie!
He said to me
Don't take a sip
For if you do
I'll surely flip
I took a sip
And he went down
Through all my pipes
He must've drown
I coughed him up
And he was dead
So I buried him
In a flower bed
He was my friend
He was my pal
He was my friend
To the very end
The moral of
This little tale
If you see a worm
Just don't inhale
There was a great big moose
He liked to drink a lot of juice
There was a great big moose
He liked to drink a lot of juice
*
The moose's name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed
The moose's name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed
*
He drink his juice with care
But he spilt some in his hair
He drink his juice with care
But he spilt some in his hair
*
Now he's a sticky moose
He's a moose
Filled with juice
On the loose!
*
The moose, the moose
Swimming in the water
Eating his supper
Where did he go?
He went to sleep
He went to sleep
(repeat verse once very loudly and then once very softly. The last verse is sung while pretending to cry)
The moose, the moose
Floating in the water
Not eating his supper
Where did he go?
He decomposed
He decomposed!
He loved that goat
Indeed he did
He loved that goat
Just like a kid
One day that goat
Was feeling fine
Ate three red shirts
Right off the line
His master came
And beat his back
And tied him to
A railroad track
The whistle blew
The train drew nigh
The poor goat knew
That he must die
He gave three shrieks
Of mortal pain
Coughed up the shirts
And flagged down the train!
The other day
I met a bear
Out in the woods
Oh way out there
He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him
He said to me
Why don't you run
I see you ain't
Got any gun
And so I ran
Away from there
And right behind
Me was that bear
Oh golly gee
What did I see
It was a tree
In front of me
The lowest branch
Was ten feet up
I'd have to jump
And hope for luck
And so I jumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
Oh way up there
Now don't you fret
And don't you frown
'Cause I caught that branch
On the way back down
The moral of
This story is
Don't talk to bears
In tennis shoes
The Princess Pat
Lived in a tree
She sailed across
The seven seas
She sailed across
The channel two
And took with her
A rickabamboo
*
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
He sailed across
The channel two
But his ship sank
And yours will to
If you forget a rickabamboo
*
Now Princess Pat
Saw Captain Jack
She reeled him in
And brought him back
She saved his life
And his mighty fine crew
Do you know how?
With a rickabamboo
*
*Chorus: We're having ****
We never used to
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
A-a-a-a-a-a (rooster noises)
We're having ****
We never used to
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
A-a-a-a-a-a (rooster noises)
Had a chicken
No eggs it gave
Had a chicken
No eggs it gave
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that chicken
Completly off guard
* We're having eggs
Had a cow
No milk it gave
Had a cow
No milk it gave
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that cow
Completly off guard
* We're having egg nog
Had a waffle
No syrup it had
Had a waffle
No syrup it had
Until that rooster
Came in out yard
And caught that waffle
Completly off guard
* We're having eggos
Had a Chinese restaurant
No food it had
Had a Chinese restaurant
No food it had
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that Chinese restaurant
Completly off guard
* We're having egg rolls
Had a wall
No doors it had
Had a wall
No doors it had
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that wall
Completly off guard
* We're having exits
Had a garden
No vegatables it gave
Had a garden
No vegatables it gave
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that garden
Completly off guard
* We're having eggplant
Had a gum tree
No gum it gave
Had a gum tree
No gum it gave
Until that rooster
Came in our yard
And caught that gum tree
Completly off guard
* We're having chiclets
I said to her
"Whatcha you doin' that for?"
A sippin cider
Through a straw?
She says to me
Now don't you know
That sippin cider's
On the go.
Now cheek to cheek
And jaw to jaw
We both sip cider
Through a straw.
And now and then
That straw would slip
And I'd sip cider
Through her lips.
Now forty-eight kids
All call me pa
For sippin cider
Through a straw.
The moral is
My children dear,
Don't sip a cider
Sip a root beer.
Jane
Flying in a paper plane
Flushed herself right down the drain
Ooh that hurts
Now Jane has a pain
And Tarzan has a tan
And I hope it doesn't peel
Like a banana
Cheetah
Got eaten by an ameba
Now Cheetah is Velveeta
And Jane has a pain
And Tarzan has a tan
And I hope it dosn't peel
Like a banana!
Second verse, same as the first, just a little bit louder and a little bit worse
