A yaller girl named Hannah,
loved a coon who played piannah,
played it morning, night and noontime,
everything he played in coontime,
when he started to play,
Hannah's heart ran away,
she'd just stagger and sway,
didn't know what to say,
she sure did like to hear him,
and she'd cuddle up right near him,
first he'd play some rag to tease her,
then he'd turn around and squeeze her,
she'd say "I do declare
that boy is some Bear."

I ain't goin' to let nobody steal my bear,
such a feelin' somes a stealin',
sets me reelin' oh you Bear,
it makes me act like I don't care,
Go on Andy, it's a dandy,
just the candy,
you seem to hypnotize each key,
you've made a grand stand hit with me.
Since I heard you tear that,
"Oh you Bear Cat Rag."

I ain't goin' to let nobody steal my bear,
such a feelin' somes a stealin',
sets me reelin' oh you Bear,
it makes me act like I don't care,
Go on Andy, it's a dandy,
just the candy,
you seem to hypnotize each key,
you've made a grand stand hit with me.
Since I heard you tear that,
"Oh you Bear Cat Rag."

I'm feelin' awful funny,
pay that rag just once more honey,
there's no music that can beat it,
and you certainly can eat it,
come one slip me a kiss,
one you never will miss,
Oh! what heavenly bliss,
home was never like this,
now keep your fingers frisky,
play it just like Paderisky,
it's no use, I can't stop movin' Lord,
that melody is soothin',
don't you play it too fast,
I want it to last.

I ain't goin' to let nobody steal my bear,
such a feelin' somes a stealin',
sets me reelin' oh you Bear,
it makes me act like I don't care,
Go on Andy, it's a dandy,
just the candy,
you seem to hypnotize each key,
you've made a grand stand hit with me.
Since I heard you tear that,
"Oh you Bear Cat Rag."

I ain't goin' to let nobody steal my bear,
such a feelin' somes a stealin',
sets me reelin' oh you Bear,
it makes me act like I don't care,
Go on Andy, it's a dandy,
just the candy,
you seem to hypnotize each key,
you've made a grand stand hit with me.
Since I heard you tear that,
"Oh you Bear Cat Rag."
