We're Going on a Bear Hunt Lyrics and Melody
Lyrics (echo in brackets)

We're goin' on a bear hunt 
(We're goin' on a bear hunt) 
We're going to catch a big one, 
(We're going to catch a big one,)I'm not scared
(I'm not scared)
What a beautiful day!
(What a beautiful day!)
 
Uh-uh! 
Grass! 
Long wavy grass. 
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! 
We've got to go through it! 
Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy!

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt...

Uh-uh! 
A river! 
A deep cold river. 
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! 
We've got to go through it! 
Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash splosh! 

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt...

Uh-uh! 
Mud! 
Thick oozy mud. 
We can't go over it, 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! 
We've got to go through it! 
Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! 

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt...

Uh-uh! 
A forest! 
A big dark forest. 
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! 
We've got to go through it! 
Stumble trip! Stumble trip! Stumble trip! 


Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt...

Uh-uh! 
A snowstorm! 
A swirling whirling snowstorm. 
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
Oh no! 
We've got to go through it! 
Hooo wooo! Hooo wooo! Hooo wooo! 

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt...

Uh-uh! 
A cave! 
A narrow gloomy cave. 
We can't go over it. 
We can't go under it. 
We've got to go through it! 
Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe! 
WHAT’S THAT! 
One shiny wet nose! 
Two big furry ears! 
Two big goggly eyes! 
IT’S A BEAR! 

Quick! 
Back through the cave! 
Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe! 
Back through the snowstorm! 
Hoooo woooo! Hoooo woooo! Hoooo woooo! 
Back through the forest! 
Stumble trip! Stumble trip! Stumble trip! 
Back through the mud! 
Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! 
Back through the river! 
Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash splosh! 
Back through the grass! 
Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! 
Get to our front door. 
Open the door. 
Up the stairs 
Oh no!

Lyrics (See below for variations. There are many!!)

There was a funny girl, she had a funny name 
She got it from her pappy just the same, same, same. 
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap). 

She had two hairs on the top of her head 
One was alive and the other was dead. 
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).  

She had two eyes at the front of her head 
One was green and the other was red.
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap). 

She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth 
One pointed north and the other pointed south.
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).  

She had two holes in the middle of her noes 
One for fingers and the other for her toes 
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).

She had two lips, two beautiful lips,
Shaped just like two battleships.
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap). 

She had two knees in the middle of her legs
One liked bacon and the other like eggs
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap). 

Her ears stuck out like the sails of a boat 
Her Adam’s apple wandered up and down her throat.
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).  

She loved to polish her fingernails 
She bought her polish in ten-gallon pails.
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap). 

She had two feet size 40 and a half
One took a shower and the other took a bath
Magalina Hagalina, Oaka talka, Walka talka
Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).

A peanut sat on a railroad track, 
His heart was all a-flutter, 
Round the bend came number ten. 
Toot! Toot! Peanut butter! Squish!

On the Ning Nang Nong 
Where the Cows go Bong! 
and the monkeys all say BOO! 
There's a Nong Nang Ning 
Where the trees go Ping! 
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo. 
On the Nong Ning Nang 
All the mice go Clang 
And you just can't catch 'em when they do! 
So its Ning Nang Nong 
Cows go Bong! 
Nong Nang Ning 
Trees go ping 
Nong Ning Nang 
The mice go Clang 
What a noisy place to belong 
cause it's the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong

    About

    This is a collection of my favourite songs, rhymes, riddles and poems. Many of them I remember from my childhood and many of them I have discovered since then.

    I still sing many of these songs to this day, whether it is with my own children or the children that I teach at school. I find them a great means of stress relief both in and out of the classroom.

    Most of these songs should be in the public domain. You will also find that there are multiple versions for each song or rhyme. Please feel free to share your variation, request some sheet music or inform me of any funny songs that should be added to the list..
