lyrics

Arthur Little Red Bear

Courageous and noble, Arthur Little Red Bear.
The same as my father with golden red hair.
When he comes of age, fathers beware.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear.

He plays with his food that falls to the floor
covered with peas, on out the door,
where the whole neighborhood, Arthur they adore.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear

On March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day,
we gather and feast in a joyous parade.
To celebrate Arthur’s birthday.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear

He wakes up each morning with laughter and screams
from beneath a woolen blanket of green.
There’s no time to waste, “Wake up!” says he.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear

Green ribbons and shamrocks, unconquered soul.
Gentle and kind, yet so strong and bold.
Now getting too big for Grandpa’ to hold.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear.

From building log cabins to fish to sell,
his two great-great-grandfathers had stories to tell.
Their first name he carries, he carries them well.
The pride of our family, Arthur Little Red Bear
