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
