Allegretto In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day The three bears’ cabin stood, at the edge of the wood. In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day The three bears went away for a walk
First the big Papa bear Then the kind Mama bear Then behind, with his chair, came the small Baby bear
In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day The three bears went away for a walk.
Allegretto See the bear, with no hair, wearing pink underwear, And the Goose with the Moose in a big red caboose See the mice, eating rice, on the ice, oh how nice! And the dog on the log, what a hog! (After reading Aesop’s fable of the dog & his reflection) See the fish, ON THE DISH, we all wish HE’D GO SQUISH And the Bird, that we heard, he’s a nerd, how absurd! Back to the mice line…
Andantino (tends to be an easier song that doesn't need lyrics, but I like to keep the theme of the Allegretto "In the Woods" and instead of it being about the three bears- this time it's about Goldilocks!)
Goldilocks went inside the three bears house Goldilocks liked to eat all the porridge. Goldilocks went inside the three bears house Goldilocks liked to eat then try all beds. Someone's knocking at the front door! Time to climb way down the stairs and... Goldilocks went inside the three bears house Goldilocks liked to eat then try all beds.
