Bear Went Over the Mountain, The
Song Lyrics & Words
The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see.
And all that he could see, and all that he could see
Was the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain, was all that he could see.
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
Which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
The bear went over the river, the bear went over the river
The bear went over the river, to see what he could see.
And all that he could see, and all that he could see
Was the other side of the river, the other side of the river
The other side of the river, was all that he could see.
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
Which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
Alternative Lyrics & Words
A shorter version goes like this:
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
And all that he could see,
Was the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see.
Quite a different version
He saw a valley,
He saw a valley,
He saw a valley
And guess what he then saw.
Then in that format the following:
River in the valley,
Raft on the River
Man on the Raft
Clothes on the Man
Pockets on the Clothes
Nickel in the pocket
Buffalo on the nickel
Hair on the buffalo
Flea in the hair
Wings on the flea
Veins in the wings
Blood in the veins
Bacteria in the blood
Do you know what he saw?
A DEAD FLEA!
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see
He saw some brownies (as in girl scouts) hiking
And this is what he did
He ate up all the brownies
And this is what they did
They gave him indigestion
And this is what he did
He threw up all the brownies
And this is what they did
They ran and told his mother
And this is what she did
She gave the bear a spanking
And this is what he did
He never went over the mountain
To see what he could EAT
Additional Version
He saw a plate of brownies
He saw a plate of brownies
He saw a plate of brownies
and what do you think he did
He ate up all the brownies
He ate up all the brownies
He ate up all the brownies
and what do you think he did
He got a tummy ache
He got a tummy ache
He got a tummy ache
and what do you think he did
He went and told his mommy
He went and told his mommy
He went and told his mommy
and what do you think she did
She sent him to his room
She sent him to his room
She sent him to his room
Short Version
He saw a bunch of campers
He saw a bunch of campers
He saw a bunch of campers
And what do you think he did
He ate up all the campers
He ate up all the campers
He ate up all the campers
And what do you think he did
He got indigestion
He got indigestion
He got indigestion
And what do you think he did
He barfed up all the campers
He barfed up all the campers
He barfed up all the campers
And what do you think he did
