    Bear is Sleeping

    Sing to the tune of Brother John

    Bear is sleeping. Bear is sleeping
    In a cave, in a cave,
    Sleeping all of winter, sleeping all of winter
    Snug and warm, snug and warm.

    Bear is sleeping, Bear is sleeping.
    In a cave, In a cave.
    I wonder when he'll come out,
    I wonder when he'll come out.
    In the spring, In the spring.
