Like most songs of this sort, there are many different versions. Here are some sample lyrics, but feel free to make up your own. That's part of the fun.
Going on a Bear Hunt (tap legs in walking rhythm)
Gonna catch a big one
I'm not afraid
What's that up ahead? (shade eyes)
Oh no! Tall grass
Can't go over it (hands high)
Can't go under it (hands low)
Gotta go through it
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish (wave arms back and forth)
Repeat all of the above, and replace the part in italics with
A wide river
Splish splash, splish splash, splish splash, splish splash (swimming motions)
Yucky mud
Squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish, squish (stepping motions)
A dark forest
Stumble, trip, stumble, trip, stumble, trip, stumble, trip
A big snowstorm
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo (wave arm, cover face)
A dark cave
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe (tiptoe stepping motions)
What's that?
Fuzzy fur
Big eyes
Wet nose
Sharp teeth
It's a bear!
Back through the cave
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe (tiptoe stepping motions, double time)
(Retrace steps at double time)
We're not going on a bear hunt again!
