Teddy Boy

[Verse 1]

This is the story of a boy named Ted

If his mother said, "Ted, be good,” he would

She told him tales about his soldier dad

But it made her sad; then she'd cry, oh my

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good

And he knew he could, 'cause in his head he said

[Chorus 1]

"Mommy don't worry; now teddy boy's here

Taking good care of you

Mama don't worry, your teddy boy's here

Teddy's going to see you through"

[Verse 2]

Then came the day she found herself a man

Teddy turned and ran, far away, okay

He couldn't stand to see his mother in love with another man

He didn't know, oh no

[Pre-Chorus 2]

He found a place where he could settle down

And from time to time, in his head he said

[Chorus 1]

"Mommy don't worry; now teddy boy's here

Taking good care of you

Mommy don't worry, your teddy boy's here

Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus 2]

And she said, "Teddy don't worry; now mommy is here

Taking good care of you

Teddy don't worry; your mommy is here

Mommy's going to see you through"
