Korean Kids Song Sunday: 3 Bears 곰 세 마리

The 3 bears song is everywhere! I didn't hear it until I started googling and you-tubing Korean Children's song, and this one comes up the most. I can see why kids love the song, but it was made even more popular when a guy performed it in a K-drama "Full House" for his girlfriend. (sorry I don't watch Kdrama's so I don't know the actors or the characters)



I have a free app on my iphone by samsung books that shows the music video. Every once in a while, I let my friend's 1 year old son watch it. He likes the part at the end when they applause after 잘한다 (jahl-han-dah) - Good Job! He claps along too. So cute!

야후! 꾸러기 동요
	곰 세 마리 곰 세 마리가 한집에 있어 아빠 곰 엄마 곰 애기 곰아빠곰..

Another version with different hand motions:





Lyrics in Korean:

곰 세 마리가 한집에 있어

아빠 곰 엄마 곰 애기 곰

아빠곰은 뚱뚱해 엄마 곰은 날씬해

애기 곰은 너무 귀여워

히쭉히쭉 잘한다
