Teddy Boy - Paul McCartney

This is the story of a boy named Ted

If his mother said, «Ted, be good», he would

She told him tales about his soldier dad

But it made her sad, then she’d cry, oh my

Ted used to tell her he’d be twice as good

And he knew he could, 'cause in his head he said

«Mommy don’t worry, now teddy boy’s here

Taking good care of you

Mama don’t worry, your teddy boy’s here

Teddy’s going to see you through»

Then came the day she found herself a man

Teddy turned and ran, far away, okay

He couldn’t stand to see his mother in love with another man

He didn’t know, oh no

He found a place where he could settle down

And from time to time, in his head he said

«Mommy don’t worry, now teddy boy’s here

Taking good care of you

Mommy don’t worry, your teddy boy’s here

Teddy’s going to see you through»

And she said, «Teddy don’t worry, now mommy is here

Taking good care of you

Teddy don’t worry, your mommy is here

Mommy’s going to see you through»
