Lucky Bear

To “The Gummy Bear Song” by Christian Schneider

Oh, I'm a gummy bear.

Yes, I'm a gummy bear!

Oh, I'm a yummy tummy funny lucky gummy bear.

Oh, I'm a jelly bear.

And I've been everywhere!

Oh, I'm a moving, grooving, jamming, singing gummy bear.

Oh yeah!

Gummy gummy gummy gummy gummy bear.

Gummy gummy gummy gummy gummy bear.

I am extremely lucky

Born in a pack of candy

I was the only one they tossed aside.

Been to a million parties

People were eating hearty

How in the world am I still alive?

For I'm a gummy bear.

Yes, I'm a gummy bear!

I am a yummy tummy super-lucky gummy bear.

And I'm a gooey bear

A nicely chewy bear

Yes, I'm a moving, grooving, jamming, singing gummy bear.

Oh yeah!

Ba ba badubidubi yum yum.

Ba ba badubidubi yum yum.

Ba ba badubidubi yum yum.

Please feel free to eat me.

Ba ba badubidubi yum yum.

Ba ba badubidubi yum yum.

Ha ha! Badubidubi yum yum.

You don't want to eat me!

Lucky lucky lucky lucky gummy bear.

Plucky plucky plucky plucky gummy bear.

Look at the walk above me

There is a crane above me

Look how it follows me most everywhere.

There is a little button

And if you choose to push it

I'll be plucked up and dropped into your chair.

And I'm a gummy bear

Yes I'm a gummy bear

I am a prenaturally lucky gummy bear.

And I’m a brazen bear.

Such an amazing bear!

I'm an appealing tempting tasty nummy gummy bear.

Some day, it will depend

My luck will finally end

How many months or years away I cannot comprehend.

This fact would surely scare

Some other gummy bear

But I’ll just keep on dancing in my yellow underwear.

You bought me as a spare

A dozen people there

Were asked if they would like to eat a yummy gummy bear.

Well, Number One said “No.”

And Two and Three said “No.”

And Four through Twelve said “No,” “No,” “No,” “No,” “No,” “No,” “No,” “No,” “No.”

I guess now I’m home free.

Nobody’s eating me!

I guess I’ll go become an internet celebrity.

And now I'm free to see

On worldwide TV

My act will end if even one of you devours me.

Ten million viewers there.

How do my chances fare?

One of you push your button, eat me up, I double

dare!

Imagine in the air

A one-armed bandit there!

We pull the lever for each person out there

everywhere.

What do their windows share?

Do they say 'Eat the Bear'?

They come up ‘I’m not Hungry’, 'Not just now' and 'I don't care'.

So there!

Do you dare

Eat the bear?

Au contraire!

Double dare!
