The Bear On The Ball

(album: Capt. Burl Ives' Ark - 1958)

The parade is coming closer
Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray
I would listen no sir
I can't wait till they come around the bend
I can't wait to see my special friend

When the circus comes to town
I love to watch the clown
But the bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all
The circus is for me
But I can't wait to see
The bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all

I love the other animals
The elephant and the rest
The horses and the monkeys too
But there's one that I love best
My favorite little pet
You love him too, I bet
The bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all

When the circus comes to town
I love to watch the clown
But the bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all
The circus is for me
But I can't wait to see
The bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all

I love the other animals
The elephant and the rest
The horses and the monkeys too
But there's one that I love best
My favorite little pet
You love him too, I bet
The bear on the ball with the parasol
I love him most of all
