Unicorn Grizzly Song

Lyrics by: Victoria Grans

Tune: Unicorn Song

A LONG TIME AGO WHEN B.C. WAS GREENWE’D LOTS OF LIVING CREATURES THAT YOU’VE NEVER SEEN.
SOME HAD FUR AND FEATHERS, AND SOME HAD HIDE OR HAIR,
BUT THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL WAS THE GRIZZLY BEAR.

HE WAS TALLER THAN A MAN AND HE HAD BIG PAWS,
LOTS OF TEETH TO BITE YOU WITH AND GREAT BIG CLAWS.
BUT IF YOU DIDN’T BOTHER HIM, HE’D PLAY FAIR
COS’ HE REALLY WAS A PEACEFUL GRIZZLY BEAR.

THEN ALONG THE CAME THE HUNTER WITH HIS GREAT BIG GUN
KILLING OFF THE GRIZZLIES ONE BY ONE.
THEN THE LOGGERS MOVED IN AND THE ROADS CAME TOO.
AND THEY SOLD THE LAST GRIZZLY TO A FOREIGN ZOO.

A LONG TIME AGO WE USED TO HAVE TREES,
WE USED TO HAVE FISH, NOW THERE’S EMPTY SEAS.
WE USED TO HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT NOW ARE RARE
AND THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL WAS THE GRIZZLY BEAR.
