The Teddy Bear Song

[00:05.94] (Nick Nixon - Don Earl)
[00:07.24] I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
[00:11.11] Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
[00:17.77] Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
[00:24.78] With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
[00:30.96] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[00:37.69] Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
[00:44.27] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[00:51.05] And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
[00:57.38] I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
[01:04.64] Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
[01:10.42] I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
[01:17.92] And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry.
[01:24.38] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[01:28.17] Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
[01:37.04] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[01:44.36] And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
[01:50.15] I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
[01:57.14] Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
[02:03.30] Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
[02:10.47] And no one would know the mess I made of my life.
[02:17.01] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[02:23.27] Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
[02:29.93] I wish I was a Teddy Bear
[02:37.28] And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
[02:43.32] And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you...
