    Biff, The Friendly, Purple Bear
    Composer(s): Dick Feller
    Performer(s): Mac Davis



    Now I was a play horse you pulled with a string
    On wheels where my legs should be
    And he was the boy who pulled the toy
    Around the tree house tree
    And for the longest time it was just us two
    The boy and the horse that was me
    Until the day the purple bear came
    To live in the tree house tree

    Now it was early one spring
    And I was tied by my string
    In a field of a make believe farm
    When around the house the boy and the bear
    Came marching arm in arm
    'This is Biff', said the boy to me
    'He's the friendly, purple bear'
    And Biff stooped down and stroked my mane
    With a ball of purple hair
    'Biff has come to stay,' said the boy
    'To pretend with me and you
    And he can do anything a boy and a toy
    Believe purple bears can do'

    And taking a cue, Biff bowed from the waist
    Then leaped and clicked his heels
    Then down to the ground with three somersaults
    That ended in four cartwheels
    He whirled and twirled and stood on his head
    The boy giggled and slapped his thighs
    And I laughed so hard that wooden tears
    Rolled out of my painted eyes

    So Biff came to stay in the tree house tree
    And long days came without end
    For the boy and the toy and the purple bear
    And serious games of pretend

    Like the cowboy game
    Where the boy is the sheriff
    And Biff is the bandit king
    It always seemed to end
    With the outlaws down in the jail
    By the long rope swing

    And you know there was this great pony race
    That lasted for days around the flower bed
    Boy, that was a tough one
    Lucky for us, though, I won by a wooden head

    And then one day we entered a pirate's cove
    Beneath a bush on the alley side
    Ol' Biff had a sword and a paper hat
    And a patch across a purple eye

    And there was always the danger
    Of outlaws or Indians
    And creatures from outer space
    And without the courage of the three of us
    We might have lost the whole darn place

    But we were bound by the code of the Musketeers
    Such golden hours were shared
    By the freckled face boy and the wooden horse toy
    And Biff, the friendly, purple bear

    But as summers passed the boy grew taller
    And his voice took a strange new ring
    And his visits were few to the tree house tree
    And never to the long rope swing

    Biff, the purple bear grew sad
    As he climbed down the tree house tree
    He shook his head
    'I'm afraid,' he said
    'He's forgotten you and me
    It seems old wooden friend of mine
    We've outlasted his boyhood years'
    And he turned and he was gone across the lawn
    In a trail of purple tears

    Now I've been put to pasture in the old tree house
    But at times I've seen from afar
    A strange, tall boy who mowed the lawn
    And tinkers about this old car
    But just today I saw a new little boy
    Coming down the sidewalk
    I swear he was headed straight for me
    In the tree house tree
    Followed by Biff, that old friendly, purple bear
