He goes wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,
Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too.
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do,
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
I crept upstairs in the middle of the night,
I tiptoed in, I turned on the light;
To my surprise, there was no one in sight,
My Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night!
He goes wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,
Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too.
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do,
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,
When he came in it was covered with hair;
Lately I've noticed several new tears,
I'm afraid Uncle Walter goes waltzing with bears!
He goes wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,
Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too.
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do,
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
We told Uncle Walter that he should be good,
And do everything that we say he should;
I think he would rather be off in the wood,
I'm afraid we might lose Uncle Walter for good!
He goes wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,
Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too.
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do,
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
We begged and we pleaded, "Please won't you stay?"
We managed to keep him at home for a day;
But the bears all barged in and they took him away,
Now he's waltzing with pandas, he can't understand us,
The bears all demand at least one waltz a day!
He goes wa-wa-wa,wa waltzing with bears,
Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears, too.
There's nothing on earth Uncle Walter won't do,
So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
He goes wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,
Momma bear, poppa bear, baby bear, too;
Yogi and Boo Boo, and Winnie the Pooh,
He loves to go waltzing, wa-wa-wa-waltzing,
He loves to go waltzing, waltzing with bears!
My Uncle Walter goes waltzing with bears,
It's a most unbearable state of affairs;
Every saturday night he creeps down the stairs,
And my Uncle Walter goes dancing at night!
