Lyrics
My Teddy Bear won't go to bed
I've tucked him in and I've kissed his head
I've read him a story, turned out the light
But my Teddy Bear won't go to sleep tonight.
My Teddy Bear won't go to sleep
I sang him a song and we've counted sheep
I read him a story, turned out the light
But my Teddy Bear won't go to sleep tonight.
My rocking horse has stopped rocking
My toy soldiers are standing 'at ease'
My talking doll has stopped talking
Now Teddy, I'm asking you...please?
Its time for you to go to bed,
I've tucked you in and your prayers are said
I see him yawning, he knows I'm right
Guess my Teddy Bear's finally gone to sleep...tonight!
(Spoken: Good night Teddy!)
