The Dancing Bear Natalie Merchant (Ft. The Klezmatics)

[Chorus]
Oh, it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
With a dancing bear ran away with me
And the organ grinder came to town
With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown
And the funny old chap joined hands with me
While I cut a caper and so did he

[Verse]
With a fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
I looked at him and he looked at me
I whispered a word in his shaggy ear
Said, "I'll go with you, my dear"

[Chorus]
Oh, it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
With a dancing bear ran away with me
And the organ grinder came to town
With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown
Then the dancing bear he smiled and said
Well, he didn't say much, but he nodded his head
As the organ-grinder began to play
"Over the Hills and Far Away"

[Verse]
With a fiddle-de-dum and a fiddle-de-dee
I looked at him and he winked at me
And my heart was light and the day was fair
I went away with the dancing bear
