Country Bear Vacation Hoedown

Seasonally, since February 1986

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Lyrics and music by George Wilkins

All right...one, two, three...

If you just been wishin' 'bout goin' fishin',
And you're still on the shore.
Grab your campin' gear and meet us right here,
Got all kinds of fun in store.

It's time for a vacation.
For some rest and relaxation.
Forget your cares and join us bears
In the great outdoors.

Ain't nothin' like the great outdoors to ease your soul.
Ain't nothin' like the great outdoors to keep you from growin' old.
If your mind's been hazy, and you're feelin' lazy,
And down on all fours,
Then join us bears, and suck up some air
In the great outdoors.

Welcome to the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown. Got out my old camp t-shirt. Still fits...kinda! And I'm rarin' to go. How 'bout you boys?
Just lead the way Henry!
All right!
Melvin!
Wake up!
Huh?
The way you're always hibernatin', you must be part bear.
Aw, heck. I'm only part moose as it is!
Here we go!

Us bears we do love nature, and trampin' through the woods.
Us bears we do love fishin', every hour if we could.
Us bears we do love singin', in county harmony.
And if ya'll won't join us, we'll chase you up a tree!

Now that's real country boys.

LIFE'S NO PICNIC WITHOUT YOU

I'm a lonely [?]. So this is romance. A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and 7,000 ants.

You've tossed my love aside,
Just like a crumb upon the ground.
If heartaches were fried chicken,
I could sell it by the pound.

My sandwiches are stale
As all the promises you made.
And I can taste the teardrops
In my lemonade.

'Cause life's no picnic without 'ya.
Just a calm, lonely lunch on a lawn.
Yes, life's no picnic without 'ya.
I guess our relation
Was just infatuation.
Now you go.
Now you've gone.

This whole thing's 'bout killed my appetite.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

[Wendell]
Hey, Rufus! Fire up that there picture machine.

[Max]
Oh, no!

[Buff]
Not Wendell's vacation slides again.

[Melvin]
I'm going back to sleep.

On the road again.
I can't wait to get on the road again.
But what I love is making music with my friends.
I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again.
Goin' places that I've never been.
And seein' things that I might never see again.
I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again.
Like a band of gypsies
We go down the highway.
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep tearin' my hear away.

On the road again.
I can't wait to get on the road again.
But what I love is making music with my friends.
I can't wait to get on the road again.

[Wendell]
Say cheese!

[Announcer]
There's no flash photography allowed during the performance. And that goes for everybody...Wendell!

[Wendell]
Sorry.

WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP

CALIFORNIA BEARS

TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS

Two different worlds.
We live in two different worlds.
Oh, we've been told that a love like ours
Could never be.

Hey! Quit squeezin'!

When will they learn...

Ow!

...that a heart doesn't draw lines.
Nothing matters if I am yours,
And you are mine.

Aw, come on! Let's go!

Two different worlds.
We live in two different worlds.
But we will show them,
As we swim together in the sun,
That our two different worlds
Are one.

Ow! This just ain't workin' out, Delores!

ROCKY TOP

NATURE

Some folks are partial to nature
Like rivers and mountains and trees
You'll sit and sniff the flowers
For hours and hours
That kind of stuff just makes me sneeze

So romp through the woods all want to
It's just too much for me to bear
There's nothin' but trees
Full of buzzards and bees
I think for a comfortable chair

Shoo! Get outta here! Hey, varmint, leave me alone! Come on, get! Go on! Get outta here! Go on!

Yow!

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

[Henry]
Well, I guess no vacation would be complete without a little bit of liquid sunshine. But it don't bother us none. Not with a gal like Teddi Barra on hand.

[Teddi Barra]
I'm singin' in the rain.
Just singin' in the rain.
What a glorious feelin'.
I'm happy again.

[Henry]
I'm feelin' pretty cheerful, myself.

[Teddi Barra]
I'm laughin' at clouds.

[Henry]
Laughin' at clouds.

[Teddi Barra]
So dark up above.

[Henry]
Dark up above.

[Teddi]
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.

[Henry]
Me, too.

[Teddi Barra]
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place.
Come on with the rain,
And a smile on my face.

I walk down the lane

[Henry]
Walk down the lane.

[Teddi Barra]
With a happy refrain.

[Henry]
Happy refrain.

[Teddi Barra]
Just singin',
And swingin' in the rain.

[Henry]
(whistles)
