Teddy Bear Song (Rerecorded)

I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose

Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes

Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store

With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a Teddy Bear not living nor loving nor going nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind

Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around to hurt all the time

I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye

And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me stay hi there I'm Teddy it's a lovely day

Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right

And no one would know the mess that I made of my life

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
