About

Everyone’s asleep, but one is awake, Papa Bear heads out into the night. So that you can still shop tomorrow, for the goods he and his friends provide to this country. Even in the early morning hours, Papa Bear is still making his rounds. It’s not until late in the afternoon that his workday finally comes to an end. Even when Papa Bear’s final hour has come, he quickly climbs up to the heavens. Since there are no bears with wings, he has to figure out another way. At night, you rub your eyes in disbelief— the Big Dipper constellation is missing. A good bit to the left of it, you see something twinkling. You look closely and laugh mischievously— Papa Bear is sitting in the Big Dipper. You watch him every night, on his own orbit. The Big Dipper has vanished, because Papa Bear is making his rounds. He hums very softly inside the wagon, “I still have to go to the other end of the Milky Way!” And if you believe all of this without a doubt, Papa Bear has played a trick on you.

Lyrics

Verse 1

The house is quiet and the hall light's low

Everybody's dreaming in a row

But one set of paws is wide awake

Papa's got a promise he won't break

Pre-Chorus

Out the door into the cold

Truck is humming soft and slow

So the shelves are full tomorrow

For the folks he'll never know

Chorus

Papa Bear is making his rounds

Rolling through the sleeping town

Papa Bear is making his rounds

So the goods keep coming down

(Keep coming down)

(Keep coming down)

Verse 2

From the warehouse to the loading bay

He and all his friends work through the gray

Morning creeps and still he's on his way

Til the afternoon calls it a day

Pre-Chorus

Then his final hour arrives

And he climbs up past the pines

No bear was ever born with wings

So he finds another line

Chorus

Papa Bear is making his rounds

Rolling through the sleeping town

Papa Bear is making his rounds

So the goods keep coming down

(Keep coming down)

(Keep coming down)

Bridge

Rub your eyes and look up high

Where the dipper used to lie

Something twinkles off to the left

You laugh because you know the rest

Chorus

Papa Bear is making his rounds

Sitting where the stars were found

Papa Bear is making his rounds

On his orbit all year round

(All year round)

(All year round)

Outro

He hums so soft inside the wagon

Gotta reach the far end of the galaxy

And if you believe it all without a doubt

Then Papa Bear has fooled you happily
