lyrics

This is the song that the wild ones sing
As each in its own way waits for the spring
They don’t care if you join their song
If you stay in tune you can sing along

This is the song that the brown bear sings
As he goes to his cave to sleep to the spring
He don’t care if you join his song
If you stay in tune you can sing along

When the leaves fall from the trees
And the air is getting cold
The hair goes thick on my brown bear back
And I starts to smellin cold
I’ve no love lost for the chillin frost
For the snow that blows or the sleet that stings
So I make my way to my warm, snug cave
And I lay me down to sleep till the spring

This is the song that the wild ducks sing
As they fly from the winter to wait for the spring
They don’t care if you sing their song
If you stay in tune you can sing along

When the ice starts to cover the lake
We fly to the sky to make our escape
Fly to the south where the breezes are warm
We hide from the ice and the winter storm
Hide from the wind and the snow that blows
We find shelter in a southern cove
Wait for the days turn long and green
We know we’ll fly home again

This is the song that the snow hare sings
She changes her coat to wait for the spring
She don’t care if you join her song
If you stay in tune you can sing along

My fur coat changes from brown to white
So I can hide in the snow so bright
My white coat blends so well in the snow
The grey wolf can never tell where I go
To the fierce grey wolf, a rabbit is a treat
I don’t intend to meet his teeth
I change my coat and hide in the snow
While the blizzard rages and the cold winds blow

This is the song that the wild ones sing
As each in it’s own way waits for the spring
I sleep
We fly
I hide in the snow
While the blizzard rages and the cold winds blow
This is the song that the wild ones sing as
Each in its own way waits for the spring
They don’t care if you join their song
If you stay in tune you can sing along
