I WISH I WAS A BEAR

Bear1a

If you're a bear, you get to hibernate.

You do nothing but sleep for six months. Bear1b

I could get used to that.

And another thing: before you hibernate, Bear1d

you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.

That wouldn't bother me either. Bear1f

If you're a mama bear,

everyone knows you mean business; Bear1b

you swat anyone who bothers your cubs.

If your cubs get out of line, Bear1d

you swat them too.

Your husband expects you to growl when you wake up.
He expects you to have hairy legs and excess body fat.
He likes it.

I Wish I Was a Teddy Bear

Barbara Fairchild
Words and Music by Don Earl and Nick Nixon

I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for

I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed-on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never ever would have learned how to cry

I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
"Hi, I'm Teddy-ain't it a lovely day?"
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made of my life

And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
