For Claire:

By the way,again, there's a lovely song about a little girl who's angry with her teddy bear for jumping into hedgerows all the time!Taken from the Walking Oliver CD Paul Austin Kelly/Rap 'N Roll:

Ah, where's he gone now?
Oh, no! Not there!
He's jumped into the hedgerow!
Ooh, my Black Bear

How am I going to fetch him
Out of there?
It's as thorny as a cactus
Oh, my Black Bear

I'll tear my pretty trousers
My new pair
They'll be holy as a Swiss cheese
My Black Bear

I'll skin my lovely elbows
White and fair
A sight I'll be to see then
My Black Bear

I'll have a dozen burdocks
In my hair
Then no one will want to kiss me
My Black Bear

I'll prob'ly die an old maid
A lot you care
Well, I'll leave you in that hedgerow!
Oh, my Black Bear

Ah here, give us your paw then
Mmm, come to Claire!
Or else my bed is empty
Oh, my Black Bear
