The Bear and the Maiden Fair

A bear there was

A bear

A bear

All black and brown

And covered with hair

The bear

The bear

Oh

Come

They said

Oh come to the fair

The fair

Said he

But I'm a bear

All black

And brown

And covered with hair

And Down the road from here to there

From here

To There

Three boys

A goat

And a dancing bear

Danced and spun

All the way to the Fair

The Fair

The Fair

Oh

Sweet she was

And pure

And fair

The maid with honey in her hair

Her hair

Her hair

The maid with honey in her hair

Smelled the scent on the summer air

The bear

The bear

All black and brown and covered with hair

He smelled the scent on the summer air

He sniffed and roared and smelled it there

Honey on the summer air

Oh

I'm a maid

And I'm pure and fair

I'll never dance with a hairy bear

A bear

A bear

I'll never dance with a hairy bear

He lifted her high into the air

The bear

The bear

I called for a knight

But you're a bear

A bear

A bear

All black and brown and covered with hair

She kicked and wailed

The maid so fair

But he licked the honey from her hair

Her hair

Her hair

Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air

My bear

She sang

My bear so fair

And off they went

From here to there

The bear

The bear

And the maiden fair
