TEDDY BEARS' PICNIC
b/w HUSH HUSH HUSH - HERE COMES THE BOGEY MAN
Teddy Bear's PicnicIf you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for a certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for teddy bears,
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them , catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily gather 'bout.
They love to play and shout.
They never have any cares.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little bears.
If you go out in the woods today.
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out 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.
Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the tree, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
John W. Bratton and James B. Kennedy
"The Teddy Bears' Picnic" is a song written by John Walter Bratton in 1907, with lyrics added in 1932 by prolific songwriter Jimmy Kennedy, and is still a popular tune recorded by several artists and appearing in many children's recordings.
The 1932 Henry Hall recording was used for more than 30 years by BBC audio engineers (up until the early 1960s) to test and calibrate audio equipment. It was possibly last played at the end of the final transmission from the old Regional transmitters at Washford in the early 1980s. Its especially good recording quality and the large tonal range of the music made it ideal for checking the frequency response of audio equipment. BBC Engineering even had special vinyl pressings made to reduce any surface noise
