The Bear Song - Lyrics - Camp Fitch

YMCA Camp Fitch is a year-round camp in North Springfield, Pennsylvania, owned and operated by the YMCA of Youngstown, Ohio. Prior to 1914, all summer camps operated by the YMCA of Youngstown were experimental and temporary in nature. Since its founding in 1914, Camp Fitch has hosted campers every year to date. Originally a program of the YMCA's downtown branch, Camp Fitch now exists as a YMCA branch owned by the YMCA of Youngstown.

The other day I met a bear Out in the woods Away out there The other day I met a bear Out in the woods a way out there He looked at me I looked at him He sized up me I sized up him He looked at me, I looked at him He sized up me, I sized up him He said to me Why don't you run I see you ain't Got any gun He said to me, why don't you run I see you ain't, got any gun And so I ran Away from there Out in the woods Away out there And so I ran, away from there Out in the woods, away out there Ahead of me There was a tree A great big tree Oh lucky me Ahead of me, there was a tree A great big tree, oh lucky me The nearest branch Was ten feet up I'd have to jump And trust my luck The nearest branch, was ten feet up I'd have to jump, and trust my luck And so I jumped Into the air But I missed that branch Away up there And so I jumped, into the air But I missed that branch, away up there Now don't you fret And don't you frown Cause I caught that branch On the way back down Now don't you fret, and don't you frown Cause I caught that branch on the way back down That is the end There is no more Unless I meet That bear once more That is the end, there is no more Unless I meet that bear once more
