Teddy Bear Song

I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sitting on the shelf
In the local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living
Nor loving or goin' nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust smile
Then your memory wouldn't come around hurting 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
Nor loving or going nowhere...

I wish I had a string
You'd pull to make me say
Hi, I'm Teddy
Ain't it a lovely day

Then I'd know every time
I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made in my life

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living
Nor loving or going nowhere...
I'm wishing I hadn't fallen in love with you
