I WISH I WAS A TEDDY BEAR Barabra Fairchild
D G
I wish I had button eyes and a red puff nose
A A7 D
Shaggy cotton fur and just one set of clothes
G
Sitting on a shelve in a local department store
A A7 D
Nothing to be dreamed of or nothing to be sorry for
Chorus:
D G A7 D
I wished I was a teddy bear not livin' or lovin' nor goin' no where
G D A7
I wished I was a teddy bear and I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love
D
with you
D G
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
A A7 D
Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
G
With a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
A A7 D
Then I never would ever had to learn how to cry.
go to Chorus
D G
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
A A7 D
"Hi, I'm Teddy. Ain't it a lovely day."
G
Then I'd know everytime that I spoke my words would ryhme
A A7 D
And no one would know the mess I've made of my mind.
go to chorus
