Polar Bear
(Tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")
The polar bear lives in Alaska
He never gets cold in a storm
He swims in cold icy water
His heavy coat keeps him warm
Warm, warm, warm, warm
His heavy coat keeps him warm
Warm, warm, warm, warm
His heavy coat keeps him warm

Polar Bear, Polar Bear
(Tune of "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear")
Polar bear, polar bear
Turn around
Polar bear, polar bear
Touch the ground
Polar bear, polar bear
Reach up high
Polar bear, polar bear
Touch the sky
Polar bear, polar bear
Bend down low
Polar bear, polar bear
Touch your toe
Polar bear, polar bear
Shine your shoe
Polar bear, polar bear
That will do
Polar bear, polar bear
Climb the stairs
Polar bear, polar bear
Say your prayers
Polar bear, polar bear
Turn off the light
Polar bear, polar bear
Say Goodnight!
