The 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 of a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living, not loving
Or going nowhere
I wish I was
A teddy bear
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your memory wouldn't come around hurting all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eyes
And I never would ever hide from love about to cry
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living, not loving
Or going nowhere
I wish I was
A teddy bear
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with
I wish I had a string you could pull that would make me sing
I tell you, a little lovely day
Then I know every time I spoke the words were right
And no-one would know the mess I'd made of my life
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living, not loving
Or going nowhere
I wish I was
A teddy bear
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you
