Who's Been Sleeping in Papa Bear's Bed?
When thinking of new material I turned to an old nursery ryhme. What a fun song this turned out to be. Who'd have know that the children's book "Who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed" would be turned in to a country song. I decided to make it the title track to my album because the song is so much fun and I really enjoy playing it live. It's one of the few songs that as an artist you can yell the words in stead of sing them.
Who's Been Sleeping in Papa Bear's Bed
Songwriter - John West
Album - Who's Been Sleeping in Papa Bear's Bed?
There's a new girl in school we call Goldy locks
She's even lives on the same block
Mama pours porridge every morning
As daddy reads the paper
He's got to know what Chicago did on Sunday
Mama does the dishes
As Daddy gets suspicious
He starts asking interrogating questions
Chorus - He says who's been eating papa
bear's food? Papa bear's food, papa bear's food?
He says who's been eating papa bear's food?
I'm a little confused
Daddy goes to work everyday and he gets home late
But he's coming home early this time
He slips through the back door
And tippy toes to the living room
That's when he notices some thing's changed
Chorus - He says who's been siting in papa bears chair? Papa bear's chair, papa bears chair?
He says who's been siting in papa bears chair? If I catch him he better beware.
Bridge - He's a grizzly when he's mad
And he's a bi-polar dad
He start thinking has mama's been cheating?
Oh and then he rares back and growls
Chorus - He says who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed? Papa bear's bed, papa bear's bed?
Says who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed? If I catch him he'll wish he were dead!
Who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed? Papa bear's bed, papa bear's bed
He says, Who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed?
No one dad I got a new friend!
There's a new girl in school we call Goldy locks
She even lives on the same block
