If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth

If you’re a polar bear and you know it, then your face will surely show it

If you’re a polar bear and you know it, show your teeth

If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl real loud If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl real loud
