: We always used one final verse in scouting.



: That's all there is

: There aint no more

: so what the heck

: are we singing for.



: : It's a classic campfire echo song, where the song leader 

: : sings a line and the group sings it back, so you don't

: : have to learn the song before you sing it:



: : The other day

: :   (echo)

: : I met a bear

: :   (echo)

: : In tennis shoes

: :   (echo)

: : A dandy bear

: :   (echo)

: : (all together)

: : The other day I met a bear;

: : In tennis shoes -- a dandy bear;



: : (other verses similar)



: : He looked at me,

: : I looked at him.

: : He sized up me,

: : I sized up him.



: : He said to me,

: : Why don't you run?

: : For I see you ain't

: : In tennis shoes.



: : (and the classic camp song can't-leave-well-enough-alone

: : epilogue:



: : The end.  The end.

: : The end.  The end.
