Teddy Bears Picnic

Courmayeur, 17th December, 2018. Skier: Jeremy Miles
If you go down to the woods today

You’re sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
In snow that’s up to your thighs
For ev’ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today’s the day the teddy bears get their powder.

Ev’ry teddy bear who’s been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There’s lots of marvelous things to ski
And wonderful games to play.
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They’ll ski around as fast as they please
Cause that’s the way the teddy bears get their powder.

If you go down to the woods today
You’d better not go alone.
We’re all tooled up with shovel and probe,
Transceiver and mobile phone.
For ev’ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today’s the day the teddy bears get their powder.

Powder day for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them have a lunch in Italy.
See them gaily ski the trees
They work their thighs and knees
They never have any cares;
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they’re tired little teddy bears.
