Lyrics (echo in brackets)

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!

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!

Waltzing Matilda

Lyrics

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me",
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred.
Down came the troopers, one, two, and three.
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me",
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong.
"You'll never take me alive!" said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me",
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

    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..
