In a fight with a black bear

Two fists and I'm grinding my teeth

I was never really that scared

I'll let him kill me

Not really sure how I got there

I think somebody paid the referee

Then again, it never was fair

This bear should fear me

I'm going into this year

With a knife behind my back

It's getting harder to hear

I'll read your lips as you laugh

Black bear, standing with gloves

Wish I could show you I'm tough

Black bear, you're eating me up

So tough, let me show you my guts

So tough, let me show you my guts

So tough, let me show you my—

Won a fight with a black bear

Put his claws in a trophy case

Hope I'm never going back there

I'll make them pay

I've got the body of a black bear

Will anybody come and share this weight?

Two fists and I'm back there

To dig his grave

I'm going into this year

With a knife behind my back

It's getting harder to hear

I'll read your lips as you laugh

Black bear, standing with gloves

Wish I could show you I'm tough

Black bear, you're eating me up

So tough, let me show you my guts

So tough, let me show you my guts

(So tough, let me show you my—)

I'm going into this year

With a knife behind my back

It's getting harder to hear

I'll break your ribs if you laugh

Black bear, standing with gloves

Wish I could show you I'm tough

Black bear, you're eating me up

So tough, let me show you my guts

Black bear, standing with gloves

Wish I could show you I'm tough

Black bear, you're eating me up

I'm so tough, let me show you my guts

I'm so tough, let me show you my guts

(With gloves, wish I could show you)
