We're Going on a Bear Hunt

We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!


Grass!
Long wavy grass.
We can't go over it. We can't go under it.
Oh no!
We've got to go through it!
Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy!


We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!


A river!
A deep cold river. We can't go over it. We can't go under it.
Oh no!
We've got to go through it!
Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash splosh!


We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!

Mud!
Thick oozy mud.
We can't go over it, We can't go under it.
Oh no!
We've got to go through it!
Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch!


We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!

A forest!
A big dark forest.
We can't go over it. We can't go under it.
Oh no!
We've got to go through it!
Stumble trip! Stumble trip! Stumble trip!


We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!

A snowstorm!
A swirling whirling snowstorm.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.
Oh no!
We've got to go through it!
Hooo wooo! Hooo wooo! Hooo wooo!

We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.
Uh-uh!


A cave!
A narrow gloomy cave. We can't go over it.
We can't go under it. We've got to go through it! Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe!
WHAT’S THAT!


One shiny wet nose! Two big furry ears! Two big googly eyes! IT’S A BEAR!
Quick!
Back through the cave! Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe!
Back through the snowstorm!
Hoooo woooo! Hoooo woooo! Hoooo woooo!
Back through the forest!
Stumble trip! Stumble trip! Stumble trip!
Back through the mud!
Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Back through the river!
Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash splosh!
Back through the grass!
Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy!
Get to our front door.
Open the door.
Up the stairs
Oh no!

We forgot to shut the door. Back downstairs.
Back upstairs.
Into the bedroom
In to the bed
Under the covers
I’m not going on a bear hunt again.
