It means that the the speaker is fearful of a rumored threat, and (as others have pointed out) comes from the classic Wizard of Oz.
There was no "song" accompanying this quote, though Dorothy, Tin Man, and Scarecrow chanted it rhythmically as they proceeded through the Spooky Forest (I'd turn back if I were you).

That is a quote from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" Dorothy, her dog Toto and her friends, the Scarecrow and Tin Woodsman are travlling along the Yellow Brick Road when they come to a forest. She asks them if there are animals in the forest and the reply is "Probably a lot of lions and tigers and bears" they start repeating that over and over and suddenly out of the forest comes a fierce lion, but he turns out to be the "Cowardly Lion"
Still a great movie after 60 years.

It is from The Wizard of Oz. They are walking through the woods and worried about running into lions and tigers and bears so they begin chanting that. This is right before they find The Cowardly Lion.

it's from the Wizard of Oz.
it's when Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man are walking through the dark forest. Dorothy asks what could be in there and the others tell her there may be lions and tigers and bears. she then responds "oh, my!" and they keep repeating it over and over again.

It also sets up the scene to meet an awful lion, who turns out to be a coward.

It's a silly song from the movie "the wizard of oz" and talks about things the travellers are afraid of.
