Saudade bear whispers softly
To saudade moon
By which he used to gaze
By which he used to croon
Saudade bear has hearts 'stead of eyes
But each night he cries
To saudade moon
Saudade moon
She tries and tries
But all the saudade persons
Pile up and loose their eyes
Saudade person
Become saudade wishin' man
Then his eyes fall out
Right into his hand
He throws 'em in the wishing well
Under saudade moon
By which he used to gaze
By which he used to croon
Wishin' well is fishin' well
Where people come to eat
But eatin' days are over
And croonin' days all done
Saudade bear
Become just bear
Flat an' coarse, his small paw girth
Bring no more saudade birth

Saudade bear whispers softly
To saudade moon
By which he used to gaze
By which he used to croon
Saudade bear has hearts 'stead of eyes
But each night he cries
To saudade moon
Saudade moon
She tries and tries
But all the saudade persons
Pile up and loose their eyes
Saudade person
Become saudade wishin' man
Then his eyes fall out
Right into his hand
He throws 'em in the wishing well
Under saudade moon
By which he used to gaze
By which he used to croon
Wishin' well is fishin' well
Where people come to eat
But eatin' days are over
And croonin' days all done
Saudade bear
Become just bear
Flat an' coarse, his small paw girth
Bring no more saudade birth
