1. The other day, the other day,
I met a bear, I met a bear,
A great big bear, a great big bear,
A way out there, a way out there!
The other day I met a bear,
A great big bear a way out there.
2. He looked at me, I looked at him,
He sized up me, I sized up him.
3. And so I ran away from there,
But right behind me was that bear.
4. Ahead of me there was a tree,
A great big tree, O glory be!
5. The closest branch was ten feet up,
I’d have to jump and trust my luck.
6. And so I jumped into the air,
But I missed that branch on the way up there.
7. Now don’t you fret, now don’t you frown,
‘Cause I caught that branch on the way back down.
8. That is the end, there ain’t no more,
Unless I meet that bear once more.

L'autre jour, j'ai rencontré un ours.
Un gros ours...
