I started this sges ago snd it’s still unfinished but I’m open to the idea of it being collaborative. Part of the inspiration was the ‘ I’m a bear’ joke and part due to telling students that bears were cuddly and they weren’t so sure. I actually write a blues backing track but it feels like it needs a good okd chorus. ( it can be blues plus a chorus why not)
Bear song
A bear went into a bar
He said look what have I done ?
I just wanna have a quiet pint without bothering anyone
I don’t know what it is
But when I come here and sit down
everyone just acts like I’m not good to have around !
I’m a bear / yeah
I have my cuddly side
I’m a bear / yeah
And I am justified
In wanting to sit in peace to savour
This real ale here that’s so full of flavour
I a bear yeah
Think I can’t like to sup
Look people can you listen
Cause I’m trying to talk to you ?
We all know I’m a bear
But I’m not that different from you !
I’m bigger yeah more vicious
I could kill you with one paw
But I just want a quiet life
Won’t you let me sit here and
Do what I adore!
I’m a bear
I’m a bear yeah
And I have my cuddly side
I’m a bear year
And I have

This is charming! Being all like "I like it here. I savor this ale. I adore things. Yes, I could kill you with one paw. Be nice."
Heck I think the chorus could be a party anthem! Everyone in the bar singing Yeah!

It could be such a happy bear if people were accepting...a lot of fun in this. Also a useful allegory.
