BIG BLACK BEAR

Big black bear you don't scare

Me in my yard, as you stare

I've seen you out there, how do you dare

Eat my birdseed with no care

Your coat is shiny black as night

You're big and round and got some height

I kinda like to watch you eat

then walk away on all four feet

Cause I know, I should beware

And not get friendly with YOU bear

I'll have to take away your treat

It's summer now the birds will eat

And you can travel on I'm counting

That you'll stay up on that mountain

Go on now, you've had your share

Eat my birdseed don't you dare

Big black bear

You don't scare

Better beware

Big Black Bear!
