（歌词翻译：武太白）
The other day, I saw a bear
A great big bear, a way up there
前两天，我看见一只熊
一只大熊，在那边
He looked at me, I looked at him
He sized up me, I sized up him
他看看我，我看看他
他打量打量我，我打量打量他
He said to me, why don’t you run
It’s clear to me, you have no gun
他对我说，你怎么不跑
很清楚，你没带枪
And so I ran, away from there
And right behind me was that bear
于是我跑呀，从那里跑走
那只熊就追呀，紧追在我身后
In front of me, there was a tree
A great big tree, in front of me
前面有一棵树
一棵大树在我面前
The lowest branch, was ten feet up
I’d have to jump and trust my luck
最低的树枝也有十尺高
我只能跳呀跳，相信我运气好
And so I jumped into the air
But I missed that branch away up there
于是我一跳上了天空
可惜上去的时候没抓住那根树枝
Now don’t you fret and don’t you frown
Cuz I caught that branch on my way down
不过你别急，也别皱眉
因为我往下掉的时候还是抓住了这根树枝
