about
The band's first single release, this bawdy and catchy song is based on lyrics from George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones book series.
lyrics
A bear there was (a bear!, a bear!)
All black and brown
Covered with hair
With a good flair
Oh come they said
Come to the fair
Come to the fair?
But I'm a bear!
And down the road
From here to there
Three boys, a goat
And a dancing bear
They danced and spun
Up to the fair
Oh look my friend
There's a maiden here
He smelled the scent
In the maiden's hair
She is so sweet
So pure and fair
He sniffed the air
And smelled it there
The maiden’s here
With honey in her hair
He is a hairy bear
He wants to come to the fair
I am a maiden fair
With honey in my hair
He's a dancing bear
He wants to drink some beer
I'm really standing here
In front of a crazy bear
Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair
She looked so sweet
So pure and fair
Honey and gold
In her long hair
She is a maid
And she is fair
She doesn't care
About a bear (a hairy bear!)
Oh wait my bear
Oh please come here
I'm so lonely
And not so fair
Come to the fair
With all your hair
We'll have some fun
And an affair
He is a hairy bear
He wants to come to the fair
I am a maiden fair
With honey in my hair
He's a dancing bear
He wants to drink some beer
I'm really standing here
In front of a crazy bear
Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair
Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair
Oh she's a maid, she's pure and fair
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
She'll never dance with a hairy bear
He lifted her high into the air
She called for a knight but he's a bear
All black and brown and full of hair
She kicked and wailed the maid so fair
He licked the honey from her hair
She sighed and squealed
And kicked the air
My bear she sang
My bear so fair
And off they went
From here to there
The bear the bear
And the maiden fair

Best sea shanty album of all time bar none. I remember when I first heard it; became my favorite album of all time. I was astounded cause... I liked every song! Martin Flaherty

An album that originally I didn't take a liking to; until I heard the lyrics. It slowly has grown on me to the point where I have ordered the vinyl. Lovely way to remember those 100 years ago. Martin Flaherty
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
