Beneath The Trees, Where Nobody Sees...

On the first day of Summer 2012 three of my granddaughters had a sleep over at my home in Tilden Township, PA. On Thursday June 21 they came to me with a touching request. They asked if they could get one of my picnic baskets from the attic to have a backyard picnic. I was thrilled, and happily complied. It was pleasing to me to see that my love of good old fashioned traditions had rubbed off onto them. In a video made by Abigayle of the picnic she said, "Here we are in a lovely meadow."  I thought that comment was so adorable.  Nice to see they also have a vivid imagination.  God Bless their little hearts.  They make my life so joyful!

If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears,
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to play and shout.
And never have any cares.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears.

If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS

Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS
