A quick and tiny bear I have
And Yumbo is his name
A sweet nose and kindly mouth
With nothing in his brain

In kiddie pools I used to play
A cry for help I’d hear
Innocent Yumbo doesn’t know
How to swim, oh dear

It was a truly strange event
He almost drowned indeed
Luckily it was a dream
He wasn’t harmed it seemed

La, la, la, la
A quick and tiny bear I have
And Yumbo is his name
A sweet nose and kindly mouth
With nothing in his brain

Yesterday that naughty bear
Went for a walk did he
By night he had not returned
Say, where can he be?

So I went out to search
Through dangers making me quake
Luckily, miraculously
I was suddenly awake
