Hush, Little Brown Bear
Hush, little brown bear in the woods,
You’d sleep through the winter if you could.
And if the winter continues to storm,
Stay in your cave, all safe and warm.
And if it’s still blustery and cold,
You’ll always have your mama’s hand to hold.
Hush, little brown bear in the woods,
You’d sleep through the winter if you could.
