[Verse 1]
This is the story about a boy named Ted
If his mother said (Said), "Ted, be good (Be good, Ted)"
He would (Alright)
She told him tales about his soldier dad
But it made her sad
Then she cried, oh my

[Pre-Chorus]
Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good
And he knew he could, because in his head he said
"Mummy, don't worry, your mblmblmbl's here

Mama, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus]
And she said
"Teddy, don't worry, your mummy's here

Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy, don't worry, your mummy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
He said, "Ta da-da"
And she said
"Teddy, don't worry, your mummy's here
Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy, don't worry, your mummy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
He said, "Ta da-da"
