The "Bummi-Lied" (German for: „Bummi-Song“) with its opening line „Kam ein kleiner Teddybär..“ („Came a little Teddy bear“..) is a Kinderlied from the GDR with 5 stanzas.
[1] The text was written by Ursula Werner-Böhnke, main contributing editor of the children's magazine Bummi.
The text is a reference to the main character of the eponymous children's magazine, the yellow teddybear „Bummi“.
From 1969 onwards, the tune was part of the educational system for primary school starters with a slightly to 3 stanzas shortened version.
The written text was published by VEB Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag Leipzig.
