Chorus
When a bird loves a bird he can twitter
When a puppy falls in love he can yap
Every pigeon likes to coo
When he says:“I
love you”
But a bear likes to say it with a slap
Dinah Shore
When a whip-poor-will’s in love he can whipper
All the horses neck and all the turtles snap
Every deer and every dove has a way of making love
But a bear likes to say it with a slap
Chorus
You can ask any bear
Oh, nothing to compare
With a love tap strong or weak
Dinah Shore
So if you’re ready for romance
And you ever get the chance
Chorus
Grab your girl and
Dinah Shore
give her your cheek
So when love comes along
don’t be silly
Never waste your time like a sap
Everyone
Let the other hug and kiss
But the facts are this
That a bear like to say it with a slap
slap
slap
Square Dance Caller
Grab your bears and swing ‘em wide
Shake their fur and scratch their hide
Give her a slap
Give her a cuff
Go ‘round that floor and strut your stuff
He slapped her once and he missed her jaw
and he wound up smackin’ his mother-in-law
Now here comes Grandpa getting in line
And her comes baby bear behind
Chorus
When a bird loves a bird he can twitter
When a puppy falls in love he can yap
Every pigeon likes to coo
When he says:“I
love you”
But a bear likes to say it with a slap
When a whip-poor-will’s in love he can whipper
All the horses neck and all the turtles snap
Every deer and every dove has a way of making love
But a bear likes to say it with a slap
You can ask any bear
Oh, there’s nothing to compare
with a love tap strong or weak
If you’ve ready for romance
And you ever get the chance
Grab your girl and give her your cheek
So when love comes around
don’t be silly
Never ever waste your time like a sap
Let the others hug and kiss but
the bare facts are this
That a bear likes to say it with a slap
slap
slap
