BAND 2: "We're Going on a Bear Hunt."
(call and response)

(Chorus)
We're going on a bear hunt,
We're going on a bear hunt,
We're going on a bear hunt,
Stop!
Look!

(Verse 1)
I see tall tree,
We can't go under it,
We can't go around it,
What should we do?
Climb it!
(Imitate sounds and make climbing motions.)

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)
I see a wide river,
We can't go under it,
We can't go around it,
What should we do?
Swim it!
(Imitate sounds and make swimming motions.)

(Repeat chorus.)

(Verse 3)
I see a huge corn field
We can't go under it,
We can't go around it,
What should we do?
Go through it!
(Imitate sounds and make parting and stepping motions.)

We're going on a bear hunt,
We're going on a bear hunt,
La de de da de,
        '        '
        '        '
La de de da de,
Stop!
Look!
Uh, oh,
I see a big cave,
We can't go under it,
We can't go around it,
Do you want to go in it?
On tippy toes,
Quietly,
(Imitate sounds and make tipping motions.)

Stop!
I feel something,
I feel some fur,
I feel a large hand,
I feel a long arm,
I feel a broad shoulder,
I feel a thick neck,
A great big head,
Two cold eyes,
A wet nose,
Some sharp teeth,
What is it?
What is it?!?
It's a bear!
(Roar)
(Reverse motions to escape from bear.)
