Beware of the Bear

If you go down to the woods today, beware of the tall Teddy Bear; he’ll appear as a man, who’d love you to stay and talk of the things you could share. If you go down to the woods today, look out for the Bear, like a man; I’m sure he will want to explain the way, then show you how life began! If you go down to the woods today, you’re Bear, like a man, will be there. He’ll whisper sweet words, which men always say, of love. But beware - it’s a Bear! ~
