Intro
Verse 1
It Was A Wednesday Night
And The Open Mic
Had Just Begun
Mark Was Up
And He Hadn't Quite Finished
His Very First Song
And The Bar Was Buzzing
'Cos The Night
Had So Much Fun In Store.
When The Relative Peace
Was Shattered
By What Came Through The Door.
Pre-chorus
It Was Six Feet Long
And Three Feet Wide
With A Gaping Maw
And Blood-Shot Eyes
Legs As Stout
As An English Oak
And Fur The Colour
Of Dirty Smoke
Verse 2
It Booled Along To The
End Of The Bar And
Caused A Stir
Then Bounded Back To
The Startled Front
And Gave A Grrrrr
Then The Panic
Really Started
As It Became Clear
We Were Sharing The
Gypsy Rover
With A Pretty Mad Bear.
Pre-chorus
It Was Six Feet Long
And Three Feet Wide
With A Gaping Maw
And Blood-Shot Eyes
Legs As Stout
As An English Oak
And Fur The Colour
Of Dirty Smoke
Chorus
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
Verse 3
Well Jackie Pink
She Didn't Think
She Dived Right In
And We Ended Up
With The Landlady
Bear Wrestling
Then It Spied
A Spaniel Underneath
A Table, Hunched.
And It Dragged
Poor Jackie With It
As It Went For Lunch.
Pre-chorus
It Was Six Feet Long
And Three Feet Wide
With A Gaping Maw
And Blood-Shot Eyes
Legs As Stout
As An English Oak
And Fur The Colour
Of Dirty Smoke
Chorus
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
Verse 4
As The Spaniel
Gave A Series Of
Blood Curdling Howls.
It Was Lifted Up To
Safety But
Relaxed It's Bowels.
The Cast Iron Table
Got Flipped Like
It Wasn't There
As Beer And Wine
And Something Else
Flew Through The Air.
Pre-chorus
It Was Six Feet Long
And One Inch Wide
And Sprayed Us All
From Side To Side
It Covered Us
Both Up And Down
And Left Us The Colour
Of Chocolate Brown
Chorus
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
Verse 5
To End All This Commotion
And This Monologue
A Man From Westbourne Grove
Arrived
To Claim His Dog.
Now Maybe On Reflection
I Should Change
The Song
But Thirty People
Saw It And Can't
All Be Wrong
Pre-chorus
It Was Six Feet Long
And Three Feet Wide
With A Gaping Maw
And Blood-Shot Eyes
Legs As Stout
As An English Oak
And Fur The Colour
Of Dirty Smoke
Chorus
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
We Thought Our Lives Were Over
There Was A Bear In The Gypsy Rover
