GUEST,Verne Garrison	Lyr Req: Elmer and the Bear (from Phil Harris) (52* d)	RE: lyrics: Elmer and the Bear	02 Apr 05
We used to do this song at student union Univ of Ill in 1951-52..Ozzie Osborne (Toluca, IL) did the lyrics; very similar to these, except he would chime in between verses with..."Here comes Elmer, Elmer's got his gun, run bear run." that is until he spots the bear and bear starts to chase him...something like: "Elmer grabbed his gun and turned around, but Mr bear just held his ground. He ran so fast thru muck and mire.....to the end. Seems... "while the bear was trying to get inside, Elmer finding a place to hide; and Mrs Jones commenced to pull her hair. She said listen goon; what makes you think you are Daniel Boone, who's appetite on bear meat used to thrive....... .....baby home alive....
