If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise.
For every 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 their Mummies and Daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
 
 
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Dance on your toes,
Teddy bear, teddy bear.
Touch your nose.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Stand on your head,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Go to bed.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Say goodnight,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn out the light.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Wake up now,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Take a bow.
 
 
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see
To see what he could see,
To see what he could see
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!
 

Deep in the hundred acre wood
Where Christopher Robin plays,
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood
Of Christopher's childhood days.
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend
And Kanga and little Roo,
There's Rabbit and Piglet and then there's Owl,
but most of all Winnie the Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh,
Winnie the Pooh,
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh,
Winnie the Pooh,
 Willy nilly silly old bear (Disney)

  
Going on a bear hunt
Gonna catch a big one
I'm not afraid (shake head no)
What's that up ahead (shade eyes with hand, look around)
A field:
Can't go around it,
Can't go under it, 
Can't go over it
Got to go through it (rub hands together)
A lake (swimming motion)
A mud puddle (cup hands together, suction sound)
A tree (climbing motion)
A cave (reaching out in the dark)
What's this? I feel something...
It has a nose
eyes
ears
fur
It's a bear!
RUN!!!
Run away through actions backward
Out of the cave; a tree; a mud puddle; a lake; a field
Whew!
We’re home!
I’m not afraid!
 
 
Sung to: "You Are My Sunshine"
You are my teddy bear
My only teddy bear,
You make me smi-le,
You are my friend,
You'll never kno-w,
How much I like you - 
I'm so glad you're my
Teddy Bear today.
 

(Chant rhythmically)
A-B- CDE
I lost my teddy, poor me.
F-G- HIJ
Maybe someone put him away.
K-L- MNO
I wonder how far my teddy could go.
P-Q- RST
Isn't there someone who'll help me?
U-V- WXY
I think I'll sit right here and cry!
Z-Z- ZZZ
Oh, I found him, I'm happy!
 
 
I'm a floppy, floppy rag doll
(arms fall limp)
Dropping in my chair.
My head just rolls
(turn head from side to side)
From side to side
My arms fall through the air
(drop arms limply)
 

I had a little balloon
(make circle with hands)
That I hugged tight to me
(hug self tight)
There was a great big BANG!
(clap hands loudly)
No more balloon for me!
But if I had this many more
(hold up five fingers)
I wouldn't hold them tight
(shake head)
I'd just hold the strings
And fly them like a kite.
 
 
Here is a big round bouncy ball
I bounce it 1,2,3.
Here is a ball for throwing.
I can catch it, watch and see.
Here is a ball for rolling.
Please roll it back to me.
Bouncing, throwing, rolling balls -
Let's count them: 1,2,3.

 
A little ball (clasp hands)
A bigger ball (hands apart)
A great big ball I see (big arc)
Now let's count the balls
ONE
TWO
THREE
 
 
There once was a princess,
Long ago, long ago,
There once was a princess,
Long, long ago.
She lived up in a big tower, a big tower, a big tower,
She lived up in a big tower,
Long, long ago.

Additional Verses:
One day a fairy waved her wand,
The princess slept for one hundred years,
A prince came galloping by,
He gave the princess a magic kiss,
All  are happy now
 
 
 Puppet clown, puppet clown
Moving up and down and around,
Puppet clown, puppet clown,
You do make such silly sounds,
Puppet clown, puppet clown,
How you shake and dance and wiggle!
Puppet clown, puppet clown
How you make me laugh and giggle!
