Em
We're going on a bear hunt 
Em
We're going on a bear hunt
Em
I've got my binoculars
Em
I've got my binoculars
C       B
I'm not scared
C       B
I'm not scared


[Verse 1]
B
Ooh, look at that tall wavy grass
It's so tall

Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go under it
Em
We can't go under it
      C                     B
We're just gonna have to go through it
      C                B
We're gonna have to go through it

N.C.
(whispered) swish, swish, swish, swish

[Chorus]
Em
We're going on a bear hunt 
Em
We're going on a bear hunt 
Em
I've got my binoculars
Em
I've got my binoculars

I'm not scared

[Verse 2]
B
Uh-oh, there's a big river
Ooh!

Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go under it
Em
We can't go under it
C                        B
We're just gonna have to swim it
C                   B
I hope it's not too chilly

N.C.
(whispered) splash, splash, splash, splash

[Chorus]
Em
We're going on a bear hunt
Em
We're going on a bear hunt
Em
I've got my binoculars
Em
I've got my binoculars
C       B
I'm not scared
C       B
I'm not scared either

[Verse 3]
B
Eew, look at all that mud
Ooh, so muddy

Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go under it
Em
We can't go under it
C                           B
We're just gonna have to go through it
C         B
Ugh, if I have to

N.C.
(whispered) squish, squish, squish, squish

[Chorus] 
Em
(whispered) We're going on a bear hunt
Em
We're going on a bear hunt
Em
I've got my binoculars
Em
I've got my binoculars
C       B
I'm not scared
C       B
I'm not scared

[Verse 4]
B
Uh-oh, what's that?
It's a cave!

Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go over it
Em
We can't go under it
Em
We can't go under it
C                           B
We're just gonna have to go into it
C         B
Are you sure?

N.C.
(spoken) step, step, step, step

[Chorus] 
Em
(fearfully) We're going on a bear hunt
Em
We're going on a bear hunt
Em
I've got my binoculars
Em
I've got my binoculars, too
C       B
I'm not scared
C            B
I'm a little scared

[Verse 5]
B
It sure is dark in here
What's that in the corner?

Em
I feel two big ears
Em
I feel two big ears
Em
I feel one wet nose
Em
I feel one wet nose
C          B
I feel two sharp teeth
C           B
I know what that is!

N.C.
What?
It's a bear!
Let's get out of here!

[Ending]
(spoken, no music)

let's run back through the cave:
step, step, step
OK, quickly, back through the mud:
squish, squish, squish
OK, let's cross the river:
splash, splash, splash
Quick, through the tall grass:
swish, swish, swish
And quick, through the yard, up the stairs, into the house, close the door!

Whew!
Aah, we're safe.
That was a close one.
Let's not go bear hunting any more.
