Teddy Boy

[Verse 1]
This is the story of a boy named Ted
If his mother said, "Ted, be good", he would
She told him tales about his soldier dad
But it made her sad, then she'd cry, oh my

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good
And he knew he could, 'cause in his head he said

[Chorus 1]
"Mommy don't worry, now teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mama don't worry, your teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Verse 2]
Then came the day she found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran, far away, okay
He couldn't stand to see his mother in love with another man
He didn't know, oh no

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He found a place where he could settle down
And from time to time, in his head he said

[Chorus 1]
"Mommy don't worry, now teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mommy don't worry, your teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus 2]
And she said, "Teddy don't worry, now mommy is here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don't worry, your mommy is here
Mommy's going to see you through"

[Outro]
