[Verse 1] Teddy Bear at the screen door Muddy paws, velvet ears He steals my sock by the mailbox Then rolls over, grinning near He’s got a leash made of daylight And a nose that knows my lane One ear up like a question One tail wagging like rain [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he waits by the biscuit jar Like it’s treasure in a vault One little tap on the counter And the whole house starts to vault [Chorus] Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, all bounce and joy He spins me round, he lifts me high One wag and I start to sigh Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, my good-time joy (Go, Teddy Bear) (Go, Teddy Bear) [Verse 2] At the creek he finds a stick Like it fell from some regal tree Carries it like a king’s baton Back through the clover leaves He flops down in the blue back porch Nose dusted with the sun Then sleeps beside my old sneakers Like the day is done, done, done [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he hears the crinkled bag From the room across the hall And he comes in soft as thunder Then he’s tallest of them all [Chorus] Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, all bounce and joy He spins me round, he lifts me high One wag and I start to sigh Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, my good-time joy (Go, Teddy Bear) (Go, Teddy Bear) [Bridge] When the rain taps on the windows He brings his giant, hopeful face Drops his head into my lap Like that is every safe place And when the world gets too tangled He unties it with one look Paws on my feet, soft and certain Like a favorite picture book [Chorus] Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, all bounce and joy He spins me round, he lifts me high One wag and I start to sigh Teddy Bear, my golden boy Teddy Bear, my good-time joy (Go, Teddy Bear) (Go, Teddy Bear)
