Jag frös om händerna
                                                                       och gick in i en affär
                                                                       för att köpa handskar.

                                                                       Mycket snygga och bra,
                                                                       sa expediten med leende mun
                                                                       Äkta björnskinn och fodrade.

                                                                       Jag köpte dem
                                                                       och hundralapparna 
                                                                       fladdrade sin väg

                                                                       Jag frös i alla fall
                                                                       om händerna
                                                                       trots björnskinnshandskarna

                                                                       Då äntligen förstod jag
                                                                       varför björnen hela vintern 
                                                                       ligger och sover i sitt ide

                                                                       Björnskinnet är för tunt
                                                                       och värmer för lite
                                                                       då vinterkölden biter
