hey, you fool,...its fire season
when everything can go up like a doozy
hey, listen up
i tell you threats of forest fires just make me woozy
ashes may glow...you have to douse 'em with might
you've got to stomp...the flames...just right
don't be wild and dopey
all this smokey little bear asks you

when campfires, you are messin'
it makes a dreamy glow with flickers blinkin'
when you humans get enthused
there is a chance that flames may grow while you're unthinkin'
i get confused...i grow quite weary with man
and its a trial...i just can't stand
don't be wild and dopey
all this smokey little bear asks you
smokey !

so if you come to play
and camp out where us forest animals are stayin'
i'm gonna warn you all
with this catchy little credo i've been sayin'
i will be toast..and you will spoil all my dreams
when embers grow...i want to scream
don't be wild and dopey
all this smokey little bear asks you
smokey !
smokey !
smokey !
oh whoa....that's right
my name's smokey !
