If you go down to the woods today you're sure of a big surprise

If you go down to the woods today you'd better go in disguise

For ev'ry bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Ev'ry 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.

(** I believe there is a missing stanza here that cannot be found anywhere

and so we shall call this an instrumental pause **)

If you go down to the woods today you'd better not go alone.

It's lovely down in the woods today but it's safer to stay at home.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was will gather there for certain

because

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 Mummies and Daddies,

Will take them home to bed,

Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
