Teddy Boy

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 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

"Momma, don't worry, now Teddy Boy's here
Taking good care of you
Momma, don't worry, your Teddy Boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

Then came the day she found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran,
far away, OK.
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 gonna see you through"
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 gonna see you through"
