A great big ugly bear
Was coming after me.
Great big bears can’t climb,
So I went up a tree.

Big bear clawed and growled,
I was in the best of places;
So I threw limbs at him,
And made funny faces.

Big bear went away,
As mad as he could be.
I was very comfortable
Up in my pin oak tree.

Great big bear came back,
Brought a little bear with him.
Little bears can climb;
I hid out on a limb

Big bear left again;
Things are looking grim.
Big bear just came back;
He brought a beaver with him!
