lyrics
We can get along
We can make each other strong
And when things are going wrong
We can write it down and sing it in a song
Sometimes Brother Abbot
Has this awful hopping habit
He knocks around the cabin
Breaking everything around him
I just cant make him tame
But I love him just the same
I'll just tell him in this friendly bear refrain.
We can get along
We can make each other strong
And when things are going wrong
We can write it down and sing it in a song
Brother Bear has got a snore
And sometimes keeps me up til four
I tried earplugs, pillows, sleeping pills before
But no matter how I try it
That ol' bear just wont stay quiet
But I just don't let it bug me anymore
He's a rabbit, I'm a bear
We've got different underwear
But somehow when he runs out
He thinks that I've got underwear to spare
It's true, I'm a hare and he's a bear
And he thinks hats are there to share
But I can't wear a stretched out bear hat anywhere
We can get along
We can make each other strong
And when things are going wrong
We can write it down and sing it in a song
I'm an awful rescue swimmer
I like mainly carrot dinners
I can't swab the deck until
I've slept the whole entire winter
I have heightened sense of smell
And I do not smell so good...
Well, it makes for such a funny tell to tale
We can get along
We can make each other strong
And when things are going wrong
We can write it down and sing it in a song
