A bear there was
All black and brown
Covered with hair

With a good flair

Oh come they said

Come to the fair
Come to the fair?
But I'm a bear!


And down the road
From here to there

Three boys, a goat
And a dancing bear


They danced and spun
Up to the fair
Oh look my friend

There's a maiden here

He smelled the scent

In the maiden's hair
She is so sweet
So pure and fair


He sniffed the air
And smelled it there

The maiden's here
With honey in her hair


He is a hairy bear
He wants to come to the fair
I am a maiden fair

With honey in my hair
He's a dancing bear
He wants to drink some beer

I'm really standing here
In front of a crazy bear


Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear


She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear

All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair


She looked so sweet
So pure and fair

Honey and gold
In her long hair


She is a maid
And she is fair
She doesn't care

About a bear (a hairy bear!)

Oh wait my bear

Oh please come here
I'm so lonely
And not so fair


Come to the fair
With all your hair

We'll have some fun
And an affair


He is a hairy bear
He wants to come to the fair
I am a maiden fair

With honey in my hair
He's a dancing bear
He wants to drink some beer

I'm really standing here
In front of a crazy bear

Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear

She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair


She kicked and wailed the maid so fair

He licked the honey from her hair

Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair

She'll never dance with a hairy bear
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air

She called for a knight but he's a bear

All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair

Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear

She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair


She sighed and squealed
And kicked the air
My bear she sang
My bear so fair
And off they went
From here to there
The bear the bear

And the maiden fair
