Quotes / The Berenstain Bears

[All] Yes, in the spring
Ah, young bears lightly fancy turn to thoughts of love

And in summertime
Despite the heat, there continue to be mentions of
Things romantic

[Papa] Hugs and kisses

[All] Holding hands when lights go low

And in the fall
We bears and sheep
Make hay to beat
The ice and snow

For after fall, comes winter
And in every town and hinterland

[Mama] Everything freezes up

[Mama and Papa] It's too cold for dating
And relating
But bears are into hibernating

[Sister] Right?

[All] No!

— The Berenstain Bears' Comic Valentine (Opening song)

[Mama] Love is not the Taj Mahal
A Valentine ten feet tall
A Versailles palace
A gleaming chalice

[Papa] Oh well, what is it then?

[Mama] It's little things like showing up when the need is great
Like phoning home when you're running late

[Papa] (laughs) But your burnt chops
are really tops!

[Mama] And occasional quiet tête-à-tête

[Papa] And occasionally sleeping late!

[Mama] It's remembering that first date!

[Papa] First date?

[Mama] Love is lovely, it's grand, it's great
Love's true-blue, or square-and-straight!
It's remembering—

[Papa] Oh gosh, I remember our first date! ([Mama] You do?) Weren't you wearing that exact same dress?

[Mama] As a matter of fact, yes.
Pitching in, helping out
That's what love is all about
If there's pain, grinning and bearing it
If there's trouble, groaning and sharing it
Love is powerful, brave and strong
And like art, love is long!
Love is also getting along

[Papa] Oh, w-wait, I think you turn left here. ([Mama] No, right.) Right is wrong! ([Mama] Right!) Wrong!

[Brother] You two aren't getting along!

[Papa] It's getting along with your fellow bear

[Mama] Sometimes love is just being there

[All] It's us! It's we!
It's me!
It's you!
Sticking together like crazy glue!

[Mama] Just one more item before this ditty ends
Love is... being friends.

— The Berenstain Bears' Comic Valentine (Third song)

[Papa] This way to Bear Country!
You'll know when you're there...
As soon as you enter,
You'll feel like a bear.
A great grizzly bear!
A Berenstain Bear!

[All] We are the Berenstain Bears!
[Mama] Mama!
[Papa] Papa!
[Sister] Sister!
[Brother] Brother!
[Papa] We appreciate each other!
[All] We live in a split-level tree!
[Brother] Mama, Papa, Sister and me...
[Sister] Snug as bugs in our split-level tree!

[Papa] Here are four Berenstain Bears!
[Actual Factual] Actual Factual!
[Bigpaw] Bigpaw Bear!
[Ralph] Raffish Ralph!
[Mayor Honeypot] Horace J. Honeypot! I'm the mayor!
[Papa] And lots lots more!
[Mama] Bears galore!
[Papa] You may think that this starts our show.
Well it does!
