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    Every teddy bear who's been good  Is sure of a treat today  There's lots of marvelous things to eat  And wonderful games to play  Beneath the trees, where nobody sees  They'll hide and seek as long as they please  'Cause that's the way 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 cares  At six o'clock their mommies and daddies  Will take them home to bed  Because they're tired little teddy bears    If you go down in the woods today  You better not go alone  It's lovely down in the woods today  But safer to stay at home  For every bear that ever there was  Will gather there together because  Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic  Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
