Jonathan Coulton - My Beige Bear lyrics

rate me

Taupe mouse, top hat on his head

Thinks he looks so good

Puce cat won’t get off the bed

Even though she should

Indigo monkey’s hiding underneath some other monkeys

Nobody even knows she’s there

My beige bear doesn’t care that he’s old

My beige bear still has four paws to hold

When it’s dark and it’s cold

I reach out for my beige bear

Tan horse, dusty on the shelf

Too breakable to touch

Jade snake, happy by herself

Won’t cuddle very much

Indigo monkey’s making trouble when she should be sleeping

Everyone wants to go to bed

My beige bear doesn’t care that he’s old

My beige bear still has four paws to hold

When it’s dark and it’s cold

I reach out for my beige bear

Beige bear says that some monkeys might just be lonely

Beige bear says that no monkeys WANT to be bad

Beige bear says that some monkeys misbehave only

Because they’re sad...

Mauve dog gets the bed just right

The pillow sinks down deep

Cream cow moos a soft goodnight

Now everyone’s asleep

Indigo monkey’s lying peacefully with arms around her

Next to a wise and kindly bear

My beige bear doesn’t care that he’s old

My beige bear still has four paws to hold

When it’s dark and it’s cold

I reach out for my beige bear
