Lyrics IntroThere’s a man in our home townEveryone knows his nameShort fuse burnin’ like a midnight flameV1When you see him coming down the mountainYou best head for coverHe's huntin' and he's hungryPeople say he's a mean motherChorusDon't poke the bearAin't no place to runNot a moment to spareIf he decides you're the oneDon't poke the bearDon't poke the bearV2Heed a warning from meSeen it with my own eyesNever sets a target freeOnce he gets you in his sightsChorusDon't poke the bearAin't no place to runNot a moment to spareIf he decides you're the oneDon't poke the bearDon't poke the bearBridgeHe may look warm and cuddlyMessin' with him will just get uglyChorusDon't poke the bearAin't no place to runNot a moment to spareIf he decides you're the oneDon't poke the bearDon't poke the bear
