Am       E          Am     E
If you go down to the woods today
          Am    E      Am     G
You're sure of a big surprise
 C         G           C     G
If you go down to the woods today
     C         G       C C7
You better go in disguise
F            G
For every bear that ever there was
      C      F         C        Am
Will gather there for certain because,
  F          C       F           C         G   C   E7
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.


[Verse 2]
  Am       E          Am     E
Every teddy bear whose been good
  Am       E          Am     E
Is sure of a treat, today
 C         G           C     G
There's lots of marvelous, things to eat
     C         G       C C7
And wonderful games to play
      F              G
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
      C      F         C        Am
They'll hide, and seek as long as they please
  F          C       F               C          G   C   Eb
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

Ab
Picnic time for teddy bears
Ab
The little teddy bears
Eb
Are having a lovely time today
Eb
Watch them, catch them unawares
Ab
And see them picnic, on their holiday
Ab
See them gaily gad about
Ab
They love, to play and shout
      Ab7            Db
They never have any cares
   Db                Ddim
At six o'clock their mommies, and
             Ab                F
Daddies will take them home to bed
                 Bb7          Eb7   Ab     E7
Because they're, tired little teddy bears.
