The Lyrics

searchin' for a nice picnic basket
lots of tourists, so there's a chance
they may nab a snack
when someone's turnin' their back
you know they like to rob when no one can glance
christ, the pickin' is easy
you know its pure thievery
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free

ain't no need to pounce and be scary
growlin' like a critter, insane
no need to frighten their prey
they know an easier way
they merely carry off the goodies they gain
christ, the pickin' is easy
you know its pure thievery
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free

now, the ranger don't approve of their filchin'
he hears about it, he starts to freak
the campers have said
its loss of food that they dread
those bears just never seem to leave them in peace
christ, the pickin' is easy
you know its pure thievery
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free

sneakin' up and huntin' in the light of day
snatchin' up the goods, they get away
they keep themselves fed
on fries and cornbread
it seems that stealin' from folks is their role, dig ?

bacon and some sausage, vienna
even chocolate cake, they will snag
the ranger has said
down to the campsites, don't tread
but still the picnic baskets they love to bag
christ, the pickin' is easy
you know its pure thievery
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free

they like fish filets for their luncheon
hell with acorns, that ain't no snack
they rip off the guests
and then retire to their nest
where they will reap the harvest of their attack
christ, the pickin' is easy
you know its pure thievery
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free
when hunger is growin'
they know where lunch will be free

Better than the OS, but you left out the part about the bears seen playing in a pool and spa in Monrovia.
