One day they went walkin in the deep woods talkin When along…along Along came a little girl with golden hair And her name was Goldielocks
And upon the door she knocked, But no one was there, no no one was there.
So she walked right in had herself a ball She didn’t care, no she didn’t care.
And when she got tired she went upstairs.
Home came the 3 bears.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge”, said the Papa bear.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge”, said the Mama bear.
“Hay bobalee bear”, said the little wee bear, “Someone has broken my chair!”
Well just then Goldilocks woke up and broke up the story as she beat it out of there.

And “Hay bobalee bear”, said the little wee bear,
