But it made her sad
Then she cried, oh, my

Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head, he said
"Mama don't worry, now

Teddy's gonna see you through"

And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here

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 gonna see us through"
