Verses:

If you go down in the woods today, You're in for a big surprise.
If you go down in the woods today, You'd better go in disguise!
For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because,
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic!

 

If you go down in the woods today, You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today, But safer to stay at home!
For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because,
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic!

 

Chorus:

Picnic time for teddy bears,

The little teddy bears are having a wonderful time today,
Watch them, catch them unawares,

As see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about,
They love to play and shout, they never have any care.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little teddy bears.
