Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear (anonymous)

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn around
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the ground
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear show your shoes
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear now say "boo!"

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say your prayers
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn out the light
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear say "goodnight!"

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching")
from "Songs for the Flannelboard," by Connie Walters, 1989

Oh, here is great big papa bear, uh-huh uh-huh
And here is medium-size mama bear, uh-huh uh-huh
And here is little baby bear, he's the one with the fuzzy hair
And they all lived in the woods, deep in the woods.

Well, papa bear he likes to build, uh-huh uh-huh
And mama bear she likes to cook, uh-huh uh-huh
And baby bear he likes to play, he plays baseball outside all day
And they all lived in the woods, deep in the woods

A little girl named Goldilocks, uh-huh uh-huh
Went knocking on the Three Bears Door, uh-huh uh-huh
She walked into their house that day, no one was there they had gone away
They were walking in the woods, deep in the woods.

The bears came back and found a mess, uh-huh uh-huh
An empty bowl, a broken chair, uh-huh uh-huh
They went upstairs to baby bear's bed, Goldilocks screamed and bumped her head!
And she ran into the woods, deep in the woods!
