There's A Big Brown Bear In My Pear Tree

There’s a big brown bear in my pear tree

And a goose in my needly spruce

The apes all live in the maple

Drinkin’ syrup like it’s juice.

I keep some frogs in the dogwood

And great hairy goats in the oaks

The pigs all live in the fig trees

Puttin’ figs down their piggy throats.

I’ve got a macaw in the pawpaw

And a gnu in the big bamboo

I’ve got a boar in the sycamore

And a hawk in the hemlock, too.

I’ve got an armadilla in the willah

And it’s spring, so the buds are bloomin’

I’d live in a tree myself except
Ain’t no tree rhyme with human.
