lyrics
Why did the teddy bear survive
When the mighty stegosaurus didn't make it out alive?
Why does the raptor pass away
When Fuzzy Wuzzy doesn't? Does he ever see his day?
If volcanoes caused the dinos to expire
We know bears are well prepared to deal with forest fire.
If a lack of food put T. Rex in his casket
Every bear knows what to do: steal a pic-a-nic basket.
Why was the teddy bear unharmed
When the brontosaurus long before us had to buy the farm?
Why did the polar bear not die
When the woolly mammoth kicked the can as soon as ice arrived?
If the climate changed too hot or cold at night
For Baby Bear, the air out there would have been just right.
If an asteroid had blocked out all the light
They'd wrap themselves in blankets and snuggle for the night.
This much is uncontested fact:
What bears had but dinos always lacked
Was human folk to love them;
To worship and draw pictures of them.
To show how much they cared
They even formed a clan of the cave bear.
If you want to know about the clan
A book and film with Daryl Hannah
Tells it better than I can
Equipped with cello and piano.
Like the dinosaurs I'm dying too
Cause I've lost that human love I used to get from you.
So if you care about me like you say
You would love me like a bear and then you would stay.
When the mighty stegosaurus didn't make it out alive?
Why does the raptor pass away
When Fuzzy Wuzzy doesn't? Does he ever see his day?
If volcanoes caused the dinos to expire
We know bears are well prepared to deal with forest fire.
If a lack of food put T. Rex in his casket
Every bear knows what to do: steal a pic-a-nic basket.
Why was the teddy bear unharmed
When the brontosaurus long before us had to buy the farm?
Why did the polar bear not die
When the woolly mammoth kicked the can as soon as ice arrived?
If the climate changed too hot or cold at night
For Baby Bear, the air out there would have been just right.
If an asteroid had blocked out all the light
They'd wrap themselves in blankets and snuggle for the night.
This much is uncontested fact:
What bears had but dinos always lacked
Was human folk to love them;
To worship and draw pictures of them.
To show how much they cared
They even formed a clan of the cave bear.
If you want to know about the clan
A book and film with Daryl Hannah
Tells it better than I can
Equipped with cello and piano.
Like the dinosaurs I'm dying too
Cause I've lost that human love I used to get from you.
So if you care about me like you say
You would love me like a bear and then you would stay.
