The Dancing Bear |
Oh, it’s fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee, |
The dancing bear ran away with me; |
For the organ-grinder he came to town |
With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown. |
And the funny old chap joined hands with me, |
While I cut a caper and so did he. |
Then 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee, |
I looked at him, and he winked at me, |
And I whispered a word in his shaggy ear, |
And I said, «I will go with you, my dear.» |
Then the dancing bear he smiled and said, |
Well, he didn’t say much, but he nodded his head, |
As the organ-grinder began to play |
«Over the hills and far away.» |
With a fiddle-de-dum and a fiddle-de-dee; |
Oh, I looked at him and he winked at me, |
And my heart was light and the day was fair, |
And away I went with the dancing bear. |
Oh, 'tis fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee, |
The dancing bear came back with me; |
For the sugar-plum trees were stripped and bare, |
And we couldn’t find cookies anywhere. |
And the solemn old fellow he sighed and said, |
Well, he didn’t say much, but he shook his head, |
While I looked at him and he blinked at me Till I shed a tear and so did he; |
And both of us thought of our supper that lay |
Over the hills and far away. |
Then the dancing bear he took my hand, |
And we hurried away through the twilight land; |
And 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee |
When the dancing bear came back with me |
