Do your ears hang low?

Can you wave them at your neighbor
with an element of flavor?
Do your ears hang high?

Look over there.
It's a candy factory.
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Can't go around it.
Guess we'll go through it.
Yum, yum, yum, yummmm.

(chorus)

Look over there. It's a peanut butter river. . .
Look over there. It's a Jell-o swamp. . .
Look over there. It's a cave. . .

It's cold in here.
I see two big green eyes,
And a fuzzy little tail.
It's a bear!

Go through the Jell-o swamp.
Swim across the peanut butter river.
Go through the candy factory.
Run home.
Open the door.
Shut the door.

We went on a bear hunt,
And we weren't afraid!

Of my hand (of my hand).

With a blow (with a blow).
