Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Bear!

Check out what I can do! Hop!

Great!

Oh, wow!

Easy now!

Yummy, yummy. Something's missing though.

Maybe add some salt?

Boo!

Bear! Look at me!

I'm an astronaut!

All systems go! We have lift-off!

Phew!

Ouch! My ears, my ears!

I think my ears are OK.

Let me help you.

Bear, I'll come with you too!

OK!

Got to get “the pandemonium,”

And that means all pans and pots.

Clear the way! I need to make room

To make jam and to make lots.

What was on the garden patches,

What grew on the tree I got,

Made from it some mix-and-matches,

Put it all in one big pot.

I’ll add carrots for some nice zest

To the Portobello jams.

But the juiciest and sweetest

Will be pinecones and the yams!

I peek in, and as I’m looking

At the weird brew, I yell,

“Now I know what’s really cooking!

I am in a jam, as well!

Bear, where have you been? Everything is ready already.

Here!

And this one?

Look, I'm moonwalking!

All systems go! We have lift-off!

Key Grammar Structures

• Check out what I can do!

  ➔ Imperative + Relative clause

  ➔ The phrase 'Check out' gives a command, and 'what I can do' functions as a relative clause acting as the object.

• Maybe add some salt?

  ➔ Elliptical question (suggestion)

  ➔ The sentence omits 'Could we' or 'Should I' but implies a polite suggestion.

• All systems go! We have lift-off!

  ➔ Exclamatory sentences + Present perfect form (contraction)

  ➔ 'We have lift-off' uses the present perfect ('have') plus a noun to express a completed action starting now.

• Let me help you.

  ➔ Causative verb 'let' + object + bare infinitive

  ➔ The verb 'let' means to allow, followed by an object and a bare infinitive ('help').

• Got to get 'the pandemonium,'

  ➔ Informal contraction of 'have got to' (obligation)

  ➔ 'Got to' is a casual form of 'have got to,' expressing necessity or strong need.

• Clear the way! I need to make room.

  ➔ Imperative + infinitive of purpose

  ➔ 'Clear the way' is an imperative request, and 'to make room' shows the reason for the action.

• Made from it some mix-and-matches,

  ➔ Inversion for stylistic emphasis

  ➔ The normal order would be 'Made some mix-and-matches from it,' but inversion adds rhythm or focus.

• What was on the garden patches, what grew on the tree I got,

  ➔ Relative and noun clauses used for listing

  ➔ Both 'what was on...' and 'what grew on...' act as noun clauses describing things gathered.

• I peek in, and as I’m looking...

  ➔ Present progressive tense + conjunction 'as' (simultaneous actions)

  ➔ The verb 'I’m looking' shows an action in progress, and 'as' links it to another happening at the same time.
