(Steven Fromholz)

Some folks say there ain't no bears in Arkansas

Some folks never seen a bear at all

Some folks say that bears go around eating babies raw

Some folks got a bear across the hall



Some folks say that bears go around smelling bad

Others say that a bear is honey sweet

Some folks say this bear's the best I ever had

Some folks got a bear beneath their feet



Some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness

Some to see a bear would pay a fee

Me I just bear up to bewildered best

And some folks even see the bear in me



So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you

And even though your friends may stop and stare

Just remember that's a bear there in the bunch with you

And they just don't come no better than a bear
