Bear in the Big Blue House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Uh-oh, I'm getting that feeling again
Yeah, it's an itching, a twitching, a scritching, a scratching
It's Time for the Bear Cha Cha Cha!
When I feel my toes start to twitch
My lips go La La La La La La
And my arms and legs get the itch.
It's time to do the Bear Cha Cha Cha!
Cha Cha Cha, Ha Cha Cha.
Gonna Cha Cha Cha, Ooh la la.
Time to Cha Cha Cha
The Bear Cha Cha Cha!
Well, don't just sit there, Get up and do it with me.
Come On
Cha Cha Cha, Everyone.
Gonna Cha Cha Cha, Ooh la la
Time to Cha Cha Cha
The Bear Cha Cha Cha!
Cha Cha Cha!
Now you might notice some people stop and stare.
Who? What?
Why? How?
Where?
You can explain to them
you're an honorary bear
Yeah!
Everybody now!
Cha Cha Cha, Ha Cha Cha.
Gonna Cha Cha Cha, Ooh la la.
Time to Cha Cha Cha
The Bear Cha Cha Cha!
The Bear Cha Cha Cha!
Cha Cha Cha!
