ranger's hat and shovel
and a pair of dungarees,
you will find him in the forest
al ways sniffing at the breeze.
People stop and pay attention
when he tells them to beware,
cause everybody knows
that he's the fire -preventing bear.
Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear,
a -crowlin' and a -crowlin'
and a -sniffin' the air.
He can find a fire before
it starts to flame,
that's why they call him
Smokey,
that was how he got his name.
You can take a tip from Smokey
that there's nothing like a tree,
Cause they're good for kids to climb in,
and they're beautiful to see.
You just have to look around you,
and you'll find it's not a joke
To see what you'd be missing
if they all went up in smoke.
Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear
Howlin' and a -growlin'
and a -sniffin' the air
He can find a fire before
it starts to flame
That's why they call him
Smokey,
that was how he got his name
You can camp up on his doorstep
and he'll make you feel at home
You can run and hunt and ramble
anywhere you care to roam
He will let you take his honey
and pretend he's not so smart
But don't you harm the trees
for he's a ranger in his heart
Smokey the Bear,
Smokey the Bear
Growling and a growling
and a sniff in the air
He can find a fire before
it starts to flame
That's why they call him
Smokey,
that was how he got his
name.
If you've ever seen the forest
when a fire is running wild
And you love the things within it
like a mother loves her child
Then you know why Smokey tells you
when he sees you passing through
Remem ber, please be careful,
it's the least that you can do.
Smokey the Bear,
Smokey the Bear,
a -howlin' and a -growlin'
and a -sniffin' the air.
He can find a fire before
it starts to flame,
that's why they call him
Smokey,
that was how he got his name.
So let's remember Smokey,
and how he got his name.
