Subject: RE: GREAT BIG MOTHER OF A BEAR ???? lyrics please From: GUEST,Camper "igall3@hotmail.com" Date: 28 Oct 04 - 12:27 PM I have been searching for these lyrics for going on 10 years. All I remember are snipets of lyrics. There was a shadow in the pale moonlight It was a bear A great big mother of a bear So I went running through the trees With my pants around my knees and I never ever went back there. Maybe that will jog some memories. Anyone out there know it? |

Subject: Lyr Add: OH BOY DO I LOVE BEARS (Larry Clark) From: Chip2447 Date: 28 Jan 05 - 04:18 AM G'day, You too. Bye bye. ^^^ Oh boy do I love bears you can bet your life that I do. There ain't nothing anywhere like a big black bear, As long as he is a mile away from you. Well, the first time I went camping, just a knapsack on my back. I hiked ten miles into the bush with a buddy by the name of Jack. And old Jack he was an expert, he'd been camping for a whole lotta years. All we took was some fishin gear, skillet and a dozen beers. Well the day went great. Went fishin on the lake, and we sure had a barrel of fun. About ten that night, just a little bit tight fryin fillets in the setting sun. Found a patch of ground and laid a sleeping bags down, And we crawled in for the night. Woke up about three, staring down at me was a shadow in the pale moonlight. Was a bear, a great big mother of a bear. I was up in a flash, I did the ten mile dash and I never ever went back there. Oh boy do I love bears you can bet your life that I do. There ain't nothing anywhere like a big black bear, As long as he is a mile away from you. Well, the next time I went camping, I took my brand new waterproof tent To a campground full of people. Bout the nicest place I ever went. I had a cooler full of steaks and things, and another one full of beer. I had plenty to eat, Had plenty to drink, Could have stayed there for a year. About two oclock in the afternoon well I strolled down to the lake. I met a girl named Jan, with a deep brown tan. Oh boy that was a break. By ten that night we were snuggled up nice, and the tent was zipped up tight. I Woke up about three, staring down at me was a shadow in the pale moonlight. It was a great big hole, in my brand new tent. Was a bear, a great big mother of a bear. I was up in a flash, I did the hundred mile dash and I never ever went back there. Oh boy do I love bears you can bet your life that I do. There ain't nothing anywhere like a big black bear, As long as he is a mile away from you. Well the last time I went camping, I was invited by a friend called Jake, To a great big bear proof cabin on a hill over looking the lake. We had booze, and girls and a fireplace, and music that could turn you on. We had everything that a man could need 'cept, we didn't have an indoor john. Well late that night my stomach didn't feel right. And I knew that I had to go down the winding path to the little outhouse About sixth yards or so. Well my knees were knocking, but I just kept walking and I made it to the place alright. When I finished my chore and I opened the door there was a shadow in the pale moonlight. I didn't even have time to buckle my belt. Was a bear, a great big mother of a bear. Soon I was running through the trees with my pants around my knees, and I never ever went back there. Oh boy do I love bears you can bet your life that I do. There ain't nothing anywhere like a big black bear, As long as he is a mile away from you. Oh boy do I love bears you can bet your life that I do. There ain't nothing anywhere like a big black bear, As long as he is a mile away from you. Bump bum.... |

Went fishin' on the lake, And we sure had a barrel of fun, About ten that night, just a little bit tight, Frying fillets in the setting sun. Found a patch of ground, and laid our sleeping bags down, And we crawled in for the night. Woke up about three. Staring down at me Was a shadow in the pale moonlight. (NO CHORD) (THUMP three TIMES) It was a bear! DCHORUS Well, the next time I went campin', Took my brand-new, waterproof tent To a campground full of people, About the nicest place I ever went. Had a cooler full of steaks and things And another one full of beer. Had plenty to eat had plenty to drink. I could have stayed there for a year. About two o'clock in the afternoon, I strolled down to the lake. I met a girl named Jan with a deep brown tan. Oh boy, that was a break! By ten that night we were snuggled up nice And the tent was zipped up tight. I woke up about three. Staring down at me Was a shadow in the pale moonlight. There was a great big hole In my brand-new tent. It was a bear! Great big mother of a bear! I was up in a flash. I did the hundred-mile dash, And I never, ever went back there! CHORUS Well, the last time I went campin', I was invited by a friend called Jake To a great big bear-proof cabin On a hill overlooking a lake. We had booze and girls and a fireplace And music that could turn you on. We had everything that a man could need Except we didn't have an indoor john. Well, late that night my stomach didn't feel right And I knew that I had to go Down the winding path to the little outhouse About sixty yards or so. Well, my knees were knockin' but I just kept walkin' And I made it to the place all right. When I finished my chore and opened the door, There was a shadow in the pale moonlight. I didn't even have time to buckle my belt! It was a bear! Great big mother of a bear! Soon I was runnin' through the trees With my pants around my knees And I never, ever went back there! CHORUS TWICE |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Great Big Mother of a Bear From: Jim Dixon Date: 05 Apr 07 - 03:19 PM The web site of the cable TV channel GAC (Great American Country) has this Q&A:
--Steven, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada A: I guess we can make this closed circuit to all our Canadian readers, Steven. My sources tell me this was part of an album put together by a man named Larry Clark, who once taught at the university in your town. It was released by RCA across Canada with Clark using the stage name Uncle Smoky and it did very well. Except for a few DJs such as Dr. Demento, who enjoy playing novelty recordings, there wasn't much notice taken in the U.S., however. Although it doesn't give a track listing, it seems fair to conclude that this is the album in question. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Great Big Mother of a Bear From: GUEST Date: 05 Apr 07 - 08:02 PM Can someone post a link to the song so i can download it. I'll buy the albumn is someone knows how. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Great Big Mother of a Bear From: Jim Dixon Date: 06 Apr 07 - 09:27 PM Google with "Fun songs for the summer crowd" (in quotes) and you'll find a dealer that is offering the LP for sale. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Great Big Mother of a Bear From: GUEST,Greg Zettel Date: 08 Apr 07 - 09:46 PM Does anyone know where I can download an mp3 of this song. Any links I've tried seem dead. I'd really like it for my wife and my father in law who always talk about. They used to listen to it on Q107 when Scruff Connors would play it on his morning show. Any leads would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Can soneone email me at extraemail@sympatico.ca Thanks in advance. |
