For every bear there ever was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Every teddy bear that's been good is sure of a treat today.
There's wonderful things to eat, and wonderful games to play.
Beneath the trees where no one sees, they'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Watch them, catch them unawares
Picnic time for teddy bears
See them gaily dance about
They love to play and shout
And never have any cares
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
because they are tired teddy bears
Bear with us...
