‘Mummy can you help me
I need you to come now
For Bozo has gone missing
And I’m going to tell you how’
‘His friends were in the toy box
When one of them awoke
To find the snake’s long ladder
In pieces and all broke’
‘Oh mummy where has Bozo gone
He didn’t take his coat
Do you think he met the Captain
To go on board his boat’
‘But the Captain’s on the shore today
That lake is frozen bare
Now let us think a moment
As he’s hiding out somewhere’
‘Do you think he’s left us Mummy
And ran away from home
Oh, Bozo we all love you
You’re lost and all alone’
But Bozo was a canny bear
And knew where he would go
But as he left the house that night
He stumbled in the snow
Then off he ran across the square
In search of food to eat
And when he saw a doggy’s bowl
He munched on chunks of meat
But soon the night was over
When Mummy and her child
Followed all his footsteps
Into the unknown wild
And in the woods they found him
Eating berries on a trunk
And as he looked down on them
He threw several from his bunk
‘My tummy did a rumble
And a tumble in the night
So I got up and crept outside
When you were out of sight’
‘Now come with us you naughty bear
You’ve put us in a tiss
My infant child’s been crying
Don’t you know how much your missed’
‘I’m staying here to lay my head
And enjoy the midnight sky
No matter what you think of me
Turn around and say goodbye’
‘Bozo you climb down from there
As you will catch a cold
Your friends are waiting patiently
What a story to be told’
‘Well, I have one that I can tell
Of a journey I did take
When I went trekking in the snow
To catch a ride upon the lake’
‘Until two mischief beings
Came upon my spot
And told me in unfriendly terms
Now move, you’ve had your lot’
