Lyrics:
This is the story
about a boy named Ted.
If his mother said:
Ted, be good, he would.
Be good, Ted. Alright.
She told him tales
about a soldier dad,
but it made her sad.
Then she cried, oh my.
Ted used to tell her
he'd be twice as good
and he knew he could,
'cos in his head he said:
Mummy don't worry,
your Teddy boy's here
taking good care of you.
Mama don't worry,
your Teddy boy's here.
Teddy's gonna see you through.
And she said:
Teddy don't worry
your mummy's here,
taking good care of you.
She said: Teddy don't worry,
your mummy's here,
Teddy's gonna see you through.
He said: ta da da...
Then came the day
she found herself a man.
Teddy turned and ran
oh far away, oh yeah.
He couldn't stand
just to be around,
so he left the town
far away, yeah yeah.
Ted used to tell her
he'd be twice as good
and he know he could,
'cos in his head he said:
Mummy don't worry,
now Teddy boy's here,
taking good care of you.
Mummy don't worry,
your Teddy boy's here.
Teddy's gonna see you through.
And she said:
Teddy don't worry,
now mummy's here,
taking good care of you.
Teddy don't worry,
your mummy's here,
mummy's gonna see you through.
And he said:
Mummy mummy don't worry,
your Teddy boy's here
taking good care of you.
Mummy don't worry,
now Teddy boy's here.
Teddy's gonna see you through.
Take your partner
and don't [...],
hold them tight
and don't let go.
Got it. Jump up.
Take your partners
and don't see
when you got it,
then let it go
Hold them tight then.
Now Ted used to tell her
he'd be twice as good,
and he knew he could
'cos in his head, he said:
