Now young fellas, you've been having a lot of fun around here today, haven't you?
camping in the great outdoors swimming and hiking
you know what makes this all possible? This forest around us
same forest that gives us timber for our homes
pure water to drink, wildlife to hunt
and to take pictures of. We should all be thankful for our forests
I'm gonna sing a song about someone who lives in the forest all the time
and loves it the way we do. First, Pierre?
come over here. Pierre is going to help me out with my song
Ready, Pierre? And now for my song
It's called, Smokey the Bear
(guitar strumming) With a ranger's hat and shovel
and a pair of dungarees, you will find him in the forest always sniffing
at the breeze
people stop and pay attention when he tells them
to beware
cause everybody knows that he's the fire-preventing bear
Smokey the Beart
Smokey the Bear, prowling and growling and sniffing the air
he can find a fire before it starts to flame
that's why they call him Smokey, that's how he got his name
(guitar strumming)
you can take a tip from Smokey that
there's nothing like a tree, because they're good for kids to climb in and
they're beautiful to see
you just have to look around you and you'll find it's not a joke
to see what you'd be missing if they all went up in smoke
Smokey the Bear
Smokey the Beat
prowling and growling and sniffing the air
he can find a fire before it starts to flame
that's why are they call him Smokey, that's how he got his name
(guitar strumming)
if you've ever a forest while a fire is running wild
and you love the things within it like a mother loves her child
then you know why Smokey tells you when he sees you passing through
remember please be careful it's the least that you can do
Smokey the Bear
prowling and growling and sniffing the air
he can find a fire
before it starts to flame
that's why they call him Smokey, that was how he got his name
well, that's it, young fellows, Smokey the Bear
my friend and yours. But he needs our help, Smokey does.
your help and mine, to keep our forests
green and growing. So let's always remember
and ask pop and mom to remember too what Smokey says
remember only we, you and I,
can prevent forest fires. Now let's all sing a song
(guitar strumming) Smokey the Beart
Smokey the Bear
prowling and growling and sniffing the air
he can find a fire before it starts to flame
that's why they call him Smokey, that was how he got his name
(guitar strumming)
Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear
prowling and growling and sniffing the air
he can find a fire before it starts to flame
that's why the call him Smokey, that was how he got his name
