The Teddy Bears' Picnic as performed by The Teddy Bear Monastery Bears music by John Walter Bratton (1907) words by Jimmy Kennedy (1932) If you go down to the woods today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to 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. Ev'ry Teddy Bear who's been good Is sure of a treat today. There's lots of marvelous 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. [ PAUSE - Music only ] If you go down to 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. [ The part below repeats twice. ] 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 their Mummies and Daddies, Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
