Paul McCartney - Teddy Boy lyrics

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

Mommy, 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:

"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 mummy is here

Taking good care of you

Teddy don't worry, your mummy is here

Mummy's gonna see you through"

Ooh

Ah -ooh

This is the story of a boy named Ted

If his mother said, "Ted, be good"

He would
