What Will You Wear?
Lyrics
[Intro — fingerpicked guitar, easy]
[Chorus]Jesse Bear, Jesse Bear,Oh Jesse Bear, what will you wear?What will you wear, Jesse Bear?
[Pre-Verse — call]Hey Jesse Bear! What will you wear in the morning?
[Verse 1]My shirt of redPulled over my headOver my head in the morning.I'll wear my pantsMy pants that danceMy pants that dance in the morning.
[Bridge 1]I'll wear a rose between my toes,The sun on my legs that run,Sand on my arm and sand on my hand —That's what I'll wear in the morning.
[Chorus]Jesse Bear, Jesse Bear,Oh Jesse Bear, what will you wear?What will you wear, Jesse Bear?
[Pre-Verse — call]Hey Jesse Bear! What will you wear at noon?
[Verse 2]I'll wear my chair (You'll wear your chair?)I'll wear my chair 'cause I'm stuck in thereStuck in my chair at noon.
[Bridge 2]Carrots and peas and a little more please,Celery crunch and sprouts in a bunch,An apple to bite and a moustache of white,Juice from a pear and rice in my hair —That's what I'll wear at noon.
[Instrumental — whistling, musical break]
[Spoken interlude]Hey Jesse Bear, what will you wear at night?Not my shirt, it's covered with dirt,Not my pants that sat in the ants —Ants in my pants tonight!
[Bridge 3]Water to float my bubbles and boat,My pj's with feet and face on the sheet,My blanket that's blue and plays peek-a-boo,Bear hugs from you and three kisses too —That's what I'll wear tonight.
[Final Chorus]Jesse Bear, Jesse Bear,Oh Jesse Bear, what will you wear?What will you wear, Jesse Bear?
Jesse Bear, Jesse Bear,Oh Jesse Bear, what will you wear?What will you wear, Jesse Bear?
[Outro]Sleep in my eyes and stars in the skies,Moon on my bed and dreams in my head —That's what I'll wear tonight.[Instrumental — fingerpicked guitar, whistling, fade out]
