1.
It takes a lot of wind for Bear
To play on his euphonium.
But now no friend will stand downwind,
And if they are they moan at him.

2.
Bear was born to play the horn
And lead the band in song.
When told he’d played a few bum notes
He got it rather wrong.

3.
In the band Bear tried his hand
At playing saxophone.
He blew so hard his friends all said
To go and play alone.

4.
Bear tried clarinet and castanet,
Recorder and a fishing net.
The band said no when Bear picked up
An ordinary household pet.
