Oh teddy, you’re so brilliant.
I love you, you’re so fine.
You only have one eye left, but
I’m so glad that you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so cuddly,
I love you, you’re so fine
Your stuffing is all coming out
But I’m still glad you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so fluffy
I love you, you’re so fine.
Your tummy’s nearly threadbare but
That’s how I know you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so soothing
I love you, you’re so fine.
I wish your lullabies still played….
But never mind; you’re mine!
Oh teddy you’re so unique
I love you, you’re so fine.
You know so many secrets and
Of course, they are all mine!
My teddy’s irreplaceable
I love him, he’s so fine
I bet you love your teddy too
As much as I love mine.

All of a sudden they were caught unawares…… [click to continue…]
