The Teddy Bear Song

I wish I had button eyes and red felt nose

Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes

Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store

With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind

Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time

I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye

And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a string you'd 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 in my life

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you
