[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, John Lennon]
This is the story of a boy named Ted
If his mother said (Said)
"Ted, be good (Be good, Ted)," he would
Alright
She told him tales
About his soldier dad
But it made her sad
And she cried, oh my
[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
Cause in his head, he said
"Mummy 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"
[Chorus]
And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy don't worry
Mummy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
He say, "Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do"
[Verse 2]
Then came 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
[Refrain]
Ted [??] say he'd 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
Your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
And she say, "Teddy, don't worry
Now mommy is here
Taking good care of you"
"Teddy, don't worry
Now your mommy's 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"
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Take your partners
And do-si-do
Hold them tight and don't let go
When you've got it, jump up
Take your partners
And do-si-do
When you got it then let it go
Hold them tight then
[Outro]
Now Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
Cause in his head, he said
