Lyrics
Private Elmer Johnson
Stationed up Alaska way
Saw the strangest animal
Walk through the woods one day
Right there and then he took a pen
And wrote the folks a note
They chuckled when they got the news
For this is what he wrote, Quote
Chorus
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, wuz he?
Fuzzy Wuzzy lost his crop
In the North Pole barber shop
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, wuz he?
They say that all the seals in Hudson Bay
Envied Fuzzy’s fuzz
But when they cut his rug away
He wasn’t what he used to wuz! Cuz!
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, wuz he?
