Teddy Bear Blues

I'm gonna make friends with the fish in the deep blue sea
I'm going to make friends with the fish in the deep blue sea
And stop the Chicago women from arguin' over me

Come here, pretty mama, gonna take you far across the pond
Come here, pretty mama, gonna take you far across the pond
I'm gonna make my stop in Italy where these monkey men don't belong

These women in Chicago, they likes there fashions and pomp
I say, women in Chicago, they likes there fashions and pomp
But the women from Nashville swear they just won't be here long

Whup that piano, Mr. Piano Whupper, whup it till it breaks. Oh my. I feel just like a teddy bear

I say, fair brown, let me be your teddy bear
Oh, can I be your teddy bear?
Tie a string on my neck and I'll follow you everywhere
