lyrics

Billy the Bear
Lives in the park with Rabbit Sinclair
They play hackey sack there
to a hippie drum cirlce in the background
because they can't be found by Zookeeper Gómez and his bloodhounds

Shall I tell you the magnifecent tale just as I heard it told?

Billy the Bear and Rabbit Sinclair arrived in your city with the state fair
They planned their escape with Alfred the Ape
who kindly agreed to steal the guard's skeleton key,
unlocking the cages and setting them free.

The very next night they heard a noise.
It was Zookeeper Gómez and his boys
Come to take Billy and Rabbit away
They could hear the bloodhounds say:

We can smell your tracks Ooo-oo-oooo
We'll find you soo-oo-ooon
Howlin' at the mooooooon!

Our furry friends pondered their plight,
animal adrenaline in the moonlight
Then Billy said, "Rabbit the river"
"That's right," said Rabbit his ears aquiver.
"We'll go to shore, borrow a boat, paddle downstream and visit goat!"
He's probably playing his organ now.
And his riverboat is the perfect hideout.

Rabbit Sinclair, Rabbit Sinclair ninja-hopped from the tree and into the air.
He kicked the hackey sack...and Billy stalled it on the back of his ear
for like twelve seconds, easily breaking Goat's record of ten.
And now he's passed the sack to Rabbit again.
Who proceeded to kangaroo stall--a move he learned in Australia last fall.
Be the sack was the mantra there
and Rabbit and Billy are playing everywhere.


Billy the bear, Billy the Bear arrived in the park with the state fair
He planned his escape with Alfred the Ape who kindly agreed
to steal the guard's skeleton key, unlocking the cages
and setting them free.

I wrote this album years ago for my niece and nephew, wanted to get it out into the world, so I made this page and did some illustrations.

Thanks for listening!
