(Once) upon a (time) in the (mid)dle of the (woods) there were (three) (bears).
(One) was a (Pa)pa bear, (one) was a (Ma)ma bear, (one) was a (Wee) Bear.
((x)) ((x)).
A(long) came the (girl) with the (gold)en curls.
She (knocked) on the (door) but (no) one was (there).
So she (walked) right (in) cause she (did)n't care.
(Home), (home), (home), came the (Pa)pa bear,
(Home), (home), (home), came the (Ma)ma bear,
(Home), (home), (home), came the (wee) bear. ((x)) ((x))
(change voice with each bear)
"(Some)one's been (eat)ing my (porr)idge!" ((x)) said the (Pa)pa
(bear). "Grrrrrrrr" (hold hands in front like sharp claws)
"(Some)one's been (eat)ing my (porr)idge! ((x)) said the (Ma)ma
(bear). "Ahhhhhhh" (throw both hands up in surprise)
"(Hey)-baba-(ree)-bear," (said) the little (wee) bear, "(Some)one
has
(eat)en my (soup)! Hmmmmmph!" (cross arms on chest and pout)
"(Some)one's been (sit)ting in (my) (chair)!" said the (Pa)pa
(bear).
"Grrrrrrrrr"
"(Some)one's been (sit)ting in (my) (chair)!" said the (Ma)ma
(bear)!"
"Ahhhhhhh"
"(Hey)-baba-(ree),bear," said the little (wee) bear, "(Some)one

"Ahhhhhhhh"
"(Hey)-baba-(ree)-bear, (said) the little (wee) (bear), "(Some)one

(Change to a whisper)
Just then Goldilocks woke up. (Scream, arms raised:) "Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
She (jumped) out of (bed) and she (beat) it out of (there)! (point with thumb)
"(Bye),(bye), (bye)," said the (Pa)pa bear. (wave)
"(Bye), (bye), (bye)," said the (Ma)ma bear. (wave)
"(Hey)-baba-(ree)-bear," (said) the little (wee) bear, "(This)
is the (end) of our (tale). Hmmmmmph!"
