The Teddy Bears’ Picnic by J.W. Bratton
Arranged for Flute Ensemble by Mel Orriss
Instrumentation: 5 c flutes
Score and parts
Every bear that ever there was is having a splendid time in this rousing arrangement of the classic song from 1907: large ones, little ones, cute ones and naughty ones… A favourite for bear lovers of all ages, a jolly good tune and great fun to play for all players!
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic
There’s lots of marvelous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
That’s the way the teddy bears have their picnic
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o’clock their mummies and daddies
Will take them back home to bed
‘Cause they’re tired little teddy bears
It’s lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic
