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
"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, 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
"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"
She said, "Teddy, don't worry, now mummy is here"
"Taking good care of you"
"Teddy, don't worry, your mummy is here"
"Mummy's gonna see you through"
