The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors (sung by the Five Bear Rugs, Henry and Melvin, Buff & Max) is the opening song of the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown.

It was also featured in the Disneyland Fun Sing-Along Songs video, where it was sung by Shaker, Wendell and Liver Lips as they played with the children on Tom Sawyer Island.

Lyrics
Zeke:If you've just been wishin''bout goin' fishin',and you're still on the shore.

Tennessee:Grab your camping gear,and meet us right here,we got all kinds of fun in store.

Zeb:It's time for a vacation,for some rest and relaxation.Forget your cares, and join us bears,in the great outdoors.

Five Bear Rugs:Ain't nothing like the great outdoors to ease your soul.Ain't nothing like the great outdoors to keep you from growing old.If your mind's been hazy and you're feeling lazy, and down on all fours,then join us bears and suck up some air in the great outdoors. Henry':'Welcome to the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown. Got out my old camp T-shirt. Still fits. Kind of. And I'm rarin' to go! How 'bout you boys?Max: Just lead the way, Henry!Buff: Alright.Melvin: (Snoring)Buff: Melvin!Max: Wake up!Melvin: Huh?Max: The way you're always hibernatin' you must be part bear.Melvin: Aw, heck. I'm only part moose as it is.'' Henry:Here we go! Us bears we do love nature,and tramping through the woods.Us bears we do love fishing every hour if we could.Us bears we do love singing, in country harmony.And if y'all won't join us, we'll chase you up a tree! Now that's real country, boys!
