(Pete Townshend) Did you ever sleep in a bear
pit With apple cores and mice along Did you
ever lay on ice and grit Or search for a place
where the wind was gone Did you ever tramp up
endless hills Past cosy homes with secret beds
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill And wake up
cold to the smell of bread Well I have slept
there badly twice And shared my straw with
scratchin mice Although you'll find some deep
brown hair I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache) Not
a single bear in there (cache cache) Did you
ever have to make a draw For a hard wooden bench
or a bed of stone Did you ever jemmy a stable
door Or scare the horse to escape the snow Did
you ever invade a neat little yard Wake up the
children who hope for ghosts Did you ever cause
their dogs to bark Their guests to curse their
noisy hosts Don't jump in expectin fun Don't
swagger in there with your elephant gun Don't
enter the cage with wavin chairs Cos I'll tell
you something for nothing There ain't no bears
in there (cache cache) Not a single bear in
there (cache cache) Did you ever pass the
police at work And hope that they might take you
in Did you ever wonder why music hurts When
someone plays it aloof to sin Did you ever
believe that a smile could cure A happy face
keep you warm at night? Were you ever fooled by
laughters lure Only Chorus: (as above) Did
you ever finally find a place A soft warm bed in
a room of flowers And when you finally laid down
your face You found you slept for a hundred
hours A hundred hours. There ain't no bears in
there (cache cache)
