Lovely teddy bears. Angels, doggy teddy bears. Perfect teddy bears. But they were all a bit disgusting where Angel had been, well, you don't want to know what Angel's been doing with them. Ooh, been chewing and oh, all sorts. So, Mummy said, "It's time you lot went in the washing machine." Oh, they all said! So, they're all excited 'cause they love a wash and a little blow-dry in the tumble dryer. So Mummy scoops them all up and she put them in the washing machine, then she put them in the tumble dryer and they're laughing and giggling and they're getting fluffier and fluffier and the air was drying through their hair. Ah, but... Mummy went back into the laundry room and there was little Teddy crying. Crying because he'd been left behind. [Vocal harmony enters, descending minor chords] (Aah...) Mummy had forgot to put him in the wash with the other teddies. He was a dirty teddy. His bum was scum. Oh! Then out come all the other teddy bears. [High-pitched vocalizations] Ha ha ha! Look at me, I'm clean, I'm clean, I'm clean, I'm clean, I'm clean, I'm clean! You are poo-poo, you smell like poo-poo! Rancid, rancid! And that was the very sad story. He felt so disgusted, discarded on the floor like a bit of rubbish where they're all fluffy-duffy. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. And that's the story and this is how we begin part three is following. [Vocal harmony fades out] (Ooh...)
