Why does Brown Bear sleep?
He should come out to play.
Why does Brown Bear sleep?
He should be making angels in the snow.
Why does Brown Bear sleep?
I haven't seen him show
His scruffy ears, his cherry nose
Or even a pinky toe.
Why does Brown Bear sleep?
Could it be that the sun's too bright?
His shoes too tight?
Or would it just might
Be that he got the chills?
But even still
Why does Brown Bear sleep?
I wish that lazy head
Would roll out of bed
So we could have some fun.
But sadly it is again too late,
For now the day is done.
