The bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain,
to see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
and all that he could see,
was the other side of the mountain,
the other side of the mountain,
the other side of the mountain,
was all that he could see.
The bear went across the river,
the bear went across the river,
the bear went across the river,
to see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
and all that he could see,
was the other side of the river,
the other side of the river,
the other side of the river,
was all that he could see.
The bear went through the forest,
the bear went through the forest,
the bear went through the forest,
to see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
and all that he could see,
was the other side of the forest,
the other side of the forest,
the other side of the forest,
was all that he could see.
The bear climbed up the big tree,
the bear climbed up the big tree,
the bear climbed up the big tree,
to see what he could see.
And all that he could see,
and all that he could see,
was the forest, river, and mountain,
the forest, river, and mountain,
the forest, river, and mountain,
was all that he could see.
Was all that he could see.
