When the honey is dry
Days are cold
Into the woods a bear must go
Digging up rocks and stumps and trees
Looking for something
Anything to eat
The bunnies will try
To brave the snow
The bears will fry ?
And end up frozen (frozen, frozen, frozen)
When the honey is dry
Days are cold
Into the woods a bear must go
Days are filled with ice and snow
Into the bed
A bear must go
Stuffed to the gills with nuts and berries
Sleeping pills, with guts and berries
Well he tried and he tried to get to sleep
And he tossed
And he turned
And he dreamed of little sheep
When the honey is dry
Days are cold
Into the woods
A bear must go
Off to the woods
Into the night
Drawn like a moth
Into the twinkling, shimmering light
Digging up rocks
And stumps and trees
Looking for soul-food and a place to eat*
Off to the night the big bear marches
Hypnotized by the golden arches
Arches, arches, arches, arches
Shot down cold
And broke
And hungry
Needed some dough to buy some honey...honey!
Into the ranks
He was promoted
Working nights his brain exploded
Burgling ham from nine to five
Waiting for his first paycheck to arrive
Well lets s** it up son
And call me Larry
Sweeping up son
And disciplinary
When the honey is dry
Days are cold
Into the woods
A bear must go
Digging up rocks
And stumps and trees
Looking for something
Anything to eat

Gleebin, globin, globin**
When the honey is dry
Days are cold
Into the woods
A bear must go
