The Bear Went Over the Mountain

Song Lyrics & Words

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.

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
Which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.

The bear went over the river, the bear went over the river
The bear went over 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.

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
Which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.

Alternative Lyrics & Words

A shorter version goes like this:

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.

Quite a different version

He saw a valley,
He saw a valley,
He saw a valley
And guess what he then saw.

Then in that format the following:

River in the valley,
Raft on the River
Man on the Raft
Clothes on the Man
Pockets on the Clothes
Nickel in the pocket
Buffalo on the nickel
Hair on the buffalo
Flea in the hair
Wings on the flea
Veins in the wings
Blood in the veins
Bacteria in the blood

Do you know what he saw?
A DEAD FLEA!
