The Teddy Bear Song
(Nick Nixon - Don Earl)
I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made of my life.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you...
I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made of my life.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you...
