Maybe It's A Bear 1908

Ev'ry night at nine o'clock,
When my prayers are said;
When my mamma kisses me,
And sends me off to bed.
Ev'ry thing is dreadful dark,
I get an awful scare,
I hear a little noise and think Ooo!
Maybe it's a bear.

Oo! oo oo oo
Maybe it's a bear
If it ever catches me
I'll die right then and there.
Ooo oo oo oo
It's over by the chair;
Hold your breath,
I'm scared to death
'Cause maybe it's a bear.

Oo! oo oo oo
Maybe it's a bear
If it ever catches me
I'll die right then and there.
Ooo oo oo oo
It's over by the chair;
Hold your breath,
I'm scared to death
'Cause maybe it's a bear.

Bears are awful scary things,
Big and hairy too;
Never go 'round in the dark,
They'll get you if you do;
When they see the light is out,
They catch you unaware
So when you hear a noise take care,
For Maybe it's a bear.

Oo! oo oo oo
Maybe it's a bear
If it ever catches me
I'll die right then and there.
Ooo oo oo oo
It's over by the chair;
Hold your breath,
I'm scared to death
'Cause maybe it's a bear.

Oo! oo oo oo
Maybe it's a bear
If it ever catches me
I'll die right then and there.
Ooo oo oo oo
It's over by the chair;
Hold your breath,
I'm scared to death
'Cause maybe it's a bear.
