Thev went that night by lucky chance To an ocean pier where a cake-walk danceWas on in style with couples six Who knew full well the cake-walk tricks.Two pickaninnies won the prize ;They beat all records for their size;And as they did their last encore The Roosevelt Bears went on the floor.And all four danced with toe and paw The smartest cake-walk you ever saw.The dancing finished with laugh and cheer Then all the children on the pier Shook hands with TEDDIES—B and G And asked them both to come to see A children’s dance, a pretty sight,Which they would give the following night.But the Bears replied with much regret That Philadelphia they had not seen yet;They must go back and crackers buyTo celebrate fourth of July ,For they were bound to show the world That when stars and stripes were First unfurledAnd liberty rang sweet and loudFor warriors brave and patriots proudThis flag and bell. right then and there.Meant freedom for both man and bear.
