Hi there- One of my Brownie Guiders wrote this song for the girls to sing about endangered bears, and she gave me permission to share it with everyone. Her name is Jennifer M of the 1st Drayton Valley Brownies.

The song is sung to the tune of the Bear Song- the one that goes, "The other day, I saw a bear, a great big bear, away up there, etc"

Thanks!

Here are the words:

The other day

In China Town

I met a bear

And he wasn’t brown!

He’s black and white

He eats bamboo

Without his home

What’s a bear to do?

This panda needs

His forest fair

Please help us all

Save the Panda Bear!

Across the coast

On a island dream

A spirit bear lives,

A Vancouver queen!

She’s rarely seen,

She’s almost alone

There’s not much left

On her island home.

If we all keep our

Water clean

We can save

the spirit queen.

Now in the land

Down under there

There’s my friend Oz

The Koala Bear.

He’s sweet and gray,

Endangered too,

Down in the land

Of the Kangaroo.

Lets show Australia

That we care,

Lets all save

Their Koala Bear!

Ralph likes to swim,

There in the ice.

He likes the snow

Says it’s quite nice.

Now when he swims,

This polar bear cries

The ice is melting

Right before his eyes!

That warming of

Our Global home,

Give Polar bears

Less place to roam.

Lets save our earth

And our bears too,

Let care enough

To make the world all new.

If we recycle,

And do our share,

We’ll show the world

We love our bears!
