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 a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream
And nothing to be sorry for
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living or loving
Not 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 sewed in smile
Then you maybe 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 have ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living or loving
Not 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 strong you could 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 of my life
I wish I was
A teddy bear
Not living or loving
Not 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
