lyrics

A beaver likes it best when there is wood against his teeth
He likes it more than people likes to eat their Sunday beef
And then he builds a dam with help from other beavers too
We’re beavers and a beaver likes to chew, chew.

Philosophy it says a beaver’s work is never done
And that is why we hope we’ll have some help from everyone
So hands up in the air if you would like to join our crew
We’re beavers and a beaver likes to chew, chew.

So hands up the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air.
Hands up in the air if you think that you can chew
If your hand is up my friend then you’re beaver too.

Winston Beaver - How many beavers have we got in the audience then Leroy?

Leroy Beaver - 1-2-3-4-5. More than 5 Winston.

Winston Beaver – Ya little ragamuffin. (To audience) Still can’t count past 5, ye know.

Some people think that they can’t see the wood for all the trees
But when we sees a wood we wants to bring it to it’s knees
And if they asks us why we’ll tell ‘em that’s just whats we do
We’re beavers and a beaver likes to chew.

Come on now!

Hands up the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air.
Hands up in the air if you think that you can chew
If your hand is up my friend then you’re beaver too.

And we go.

Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Everybody!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Lets hear you!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Everybody!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew…

Tree one topples.
(quietly)

Now secretly you know a beaver’s job is never done
And when we’re finished here we’ll go and find another one
But since you’re all our friends we hope that you will join us too
We’re beavers and you know exactly what we like to do we like to

Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew
Everybody!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew
Lets hear you!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew
Everybody!
Chew, chew.
Chew, chew
Chew, chew
Chew…

Tree 2 topples.

So hands up the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air, hands up in the air.
Hands up in the air if you think that you can chew
If your hand is up my friend then you’re beaver too.
If your hand is up my friend then you’re beaver too.
Yeah, if your hand is up my friend then you’re beaver too.
