Black Bear Wonder

 

Burrow, burrow

Black bear wonder

Winter is coming

Oh too soon

Bored, sleepy

You sail off to dreams

With your tongue rolling free

And eyes open wide

Down to the river

You come to drink

Hurry, hurry

Black bear wonder

The river will soon be

Too icy to see

Roaring with glory

Gleaming with pride

You trot up the mountain

To your favorite spot

Burrow, burrow

Black bear wonder

Winter is coming

Oh too soon
