( He's passed out all over the news today.)

The Beer Drinking Bear

Thirty-six cans of beer he drank;
Thirty-six cans of beer.
This greedy, gutsy, guzzling bear
Who only likes Rainier.

He invaded the camp and that bear scamp
Stole thirty-six cans of beer.
He drank them down, then climbed a tree,
As tipsy a bear as you'll ever see;
Too happy to be in fear.

The fellows came and they were mad
He'd purloined all the beer they had;
Their thirty-six cans of beer.
They set a trap,and baited with honey,
He tossed it aside, it wasn't funny.
He wanted some more Rainier.

They had to agree and gave him more.
He entered the trap, they closed the door,
And this was the end of the story for
They had saved their precious beer
From the bear who likes Rainier.
