BIG BEAR LAKE
(Mel Blanc)

Mel Blanc (as Bugs Bunny) & The Sportsmen



The doctor looked at me and said
"Get away from the noise of the city"
And so I packed my bag and fled
To a lake that was quiet and pretty

(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a-puttin')
(Big bear lake, they're a-buzzin' and a-buttin')
(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a puttin')

(Big bear lake, with the engines all a-hoppin')
(Big bear lake, with the outboards all a-poppin')
(Big bear lake, not a single one is stoppin')

Those moonlight nights so calm and serene
The quiet scenes enduring
But comes the dawn, the silence is gone
They're out of their moorings

(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a-puttin')
(Big bear lake, they're a-buzzin' and a-buttin')
(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a-puttin')

(Puttin' all day)
Rest, rest!
Relax, relax!
Quiet, quiet, QUIET!!!

(Instrumental Break)

"Relax and quiet", the doctors all say
"Is good for your condition"
But how can you relax and be quiet
When there goes the ignition

(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a-puttin')
(Big bear lake, they're a-buzzin' and a-buttin')
(Big bear lake, with the motor boats a-puttin')

Puttin' all day
Puttin' all day
Puttin' all day
Puttin' all day
