Teddy Boy (1969 Glyn Johns Mix)

[Intro: Paul McCartney]

"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"

It just goes that

"Ted's gonna see you through"

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]

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

And she cried, oh my

[Refrain: Paul McCartney]

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

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

"Mommy, don't worry now, Teddy boy's here

Taking good care of you

Mommy, don't worry now, Teddy boy's hеre

Teddy's going to see you through"

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]

Then camе the day, she found herself a man

Teddy turned and ran

Oh, far away, oh yeah

He couldn't stand just to be around

So, he left the town, far away, yeah, yeah

[Bridge: Paul McCartney]

Within the day, la-de-da-di, run

Oh now, c'mon Teddy boy

You know, baby boy, nah-nah, oh-nah-nah

[Refrain: Paul McCartney]

"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: Paul McCartney]

And she said

"Teddy, don't worry, now mommy is here

Taking good care of you"

"Teddy, don't worry, now your mommy is here

Mommy's gonna see you through"

And he said, "Mama, mama, don't worry, cause Teddy boy's here

Taking good care of you

Mommy, don't worry, now Teddy boy's here

Teddy's going to see us through"

[Interlude: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

Take your partners and do-si-do

Hold them tight and don't let go (La-la-la, la-la-la)

When you've got it, jump up (Oh yeah)

Take your partners and do-si-do (La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la)

When you got it, then let it go (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)

Hold them tight then (Oh yeah)

[Refrain: Paul McCartney]

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

And he knew he could

Cause in his head, he said

"Mommy, don't worry now, Teddy boy's here

Taking good care of you

Mommy, don't worry now, Teddy boy's here

Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]

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

Taking good care of you"

"Teddy, don't worry, your mommy is here

Mommy's gonna see you through"

[Outro: Paul McCartney]
