Bears Don't Dig on Dancing Songtext
von Tim Minchin

Bears don′t dig on dancin'
They just don′t dig it
Bears don't dig on dancin'

Horses don′t mind being ridden
Dogs just love to do our biddin′
Mice find mazes quite relaxin'
Bubbles really cared for Michael Jackson
But bears don′t dig on dancing

Budgies like to play with bells
Lassie lifted kids from wells
Elephants like shifting logs
Dissection is fun for frogs
But bears don't dig on dancing

Wee canaries mining coal
Ferrets bred to fit in holes
Dogs take blind folk into town
Kangaroos jump around

Bears are surprisingly disinterested in dancing


If you go into the woods today
You′d better go in disguise
If you go into the woods today
Prepare for a big surprise
'Cause every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today′s the day the bears are having a rave

All around are grumpy bears
Sitting there on plastic chairs
Hanging out in sullen pairs
They just don't dig on dancin'

Bears just cannot keep the beat
Most of them have two left feet
They like fighting and eating meat
And hibernating, lazy fuckers
They just don′t dig on dancing

You can hire the best DJ
They won′t boogie anyway
Bears all reckon dancing's gay
Homophobic hairy fuckers
Just don′t dig on dancin'

Bears don′t dig on dancin'
They just don′t dig it
Bears don't dig on dancin'


Dolphins like autistic kiddies
Cats are good for aging biddies
Pigeons fly to bring your letters
Sheep get shorn to make your sweaters

Camels hump, donkeys haul
A seal can catch a rubber ball
I′ve seen monkeys wearing pants
I′ve seen monkeys wearing pants
I've seen monkeys wearing pants
But bears think they′re too good to dance
Motherfuckers don't dig on dancing
What′s their fucking problem?

Bears don't dig on dancing
