Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
|
With apple cores and mice along?
|
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
|
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?
|
|
Did you ever tramp up endless hils
|
Past cozy homes with secret beds?
|
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
|
Then wake up cold to the smell of bread?
|
|
Well I have slept there badly twice
|
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
|
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
|
I'll tell you somethin' for nothin'
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)
|
|
Did you ever have to make a draw
|
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone?
|
Did you ever jimmy a stable door
|
And scare the horse to escape the snow?
|
|
Did you ever invade a neat little yard
|
Then wake up the kids who hope for ghosts?
|
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
|
A guest who cursed their noisy host?
|
|
Don't jump in expectin' fun
|
Don't swagger in with your elephant gun
|
Don't enter the cage wavin' chairs
|
'Cause I'll tell you somethin' for nothin'
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
|
Did you ever pass the police at work
|
And hope that they might take you in?
|
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
|
When someone plays it aloof to sin?
|
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
|
A happy face keep you warm at night?
|
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
|
Only to find that they laughed in spite?
|
|
Don't jump in expectin' fun
|
Don't swagger in with your elephant gun
|
Don't enter the cage wavin' chairs
|
'Cause I'll tell you somethin' for nothin'
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
|
Did you ever finally find a place
|
A soft, warm bed in a room with flowers?
|
And when you finally laid down your face
|
You found that you slept there for a hundred hours?
|
A hundred hours.
|
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
|
There ain't no bears in there
|
Ain't no bears in there
|
