Teddy Boy lyrics

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

Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good

And he knew he could, because in his head

He said, 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

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

He found a place where he could settle down

And from time to time, in his head

He said, 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

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

This is the story of a boy named Ted

If his mother said, Ted, be good, he would
