Little Panda Bear

This song has been hugely popular at a couple of my colleagues’ baby and toddler programs, and I sing it at home with my own little dude. It’s from Kimya Dawson’s 2007 album Alphabutt, which is full of fantastic, ridiculous, silly, lovely songs, plus the best pregnancy song I’ve every heard. Make sure your library owns it!

At storytime, we sing it a little slower than the original (which you can hear a live version of here), and optionally replace “little panda bear” with “little _______(child’s name) bear.”


Little Panda Bear
C
You are my little panda bear, little panda bear
       G7
I love you, yes I do
             F
And all the funny things you do
       C
I love you, yes I do

C
You are my little panda bear, panda bears are rare
          G7
Yes it's true, there's only a few
                F
And there's no other one like you
        C
I love you, yes I do



This is the second in a series of love-the-littles songs.
