The city's full of manager scenes and stores lit up in red and green
But down the road just out of town there's more magic to be found
The countryside is all aglow with holly trees and mistletoe
And in them woods there lives a bear known to all as Thistlehair
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair

He comes around this time of year spreading lots of Christmas cheer
The kids all love his shiny coat and the smell of honey on his nose
He tells them all about the Wondrous Star and everything that it stands for
The birthday we all celebrate is still our favorite holiday
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair

Wherever you find old Thistlehair there'll be music in the air
He dances 'round the Christmas tree every single Christmas Eve
Then he and all his furry friends gather 'round the fire again
Singin' 'bout the Angels' wings and the gifts of love that Christmas brings
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistlehair

Thistlehair the Christmas bear
