Here are the lyrics, as I learned them:
"Once upon a time in a neat little cottage there were three bears;
One was the Daddy Bear, one was the Momma Bear and one was a Wee Bear.
They went out walkin' in the deep woods a stalkin' came a little chick with blonde hair;
Her name was Goldilocks and upon their door she knocks but no one was there;
So she went right in and had herself a ball cause she didn't care;
soon she got sleepy, went to bed upstairs and
home, home, home came the Three Bears;
Someone's been eatin' my porridge, said the Daddy Bear;
Someone's been eatin' my porridge, said the Momma Bear;
Bear bob-a-ree bear, said the little wee Bear, somebody's broken my chair.
Just then Goldilocks woke up, broke up, the party and beat it out of there,
Bye- Bye, Bye, Bye said the Daddy Bear;
Goodbye, said the Momma Bear;
Bear Bob-A-Ree Bear, said the Little Wee Bear...
So ends the Story of The Three Bears.
I believe these lyrics date to the mid 1940's.
