Story Behind The Song

I was helping out Angelina, second-grader, when the class was assigned to write a novel in their Writer's Workshop. So, naturally, I asked Angelina: "Who have you chosen for your main character? Your mother, father, a friend?. Angelina looked at me as though I were not very bright and said: "Teddy, of course." I said, "Teddy Who? I don't know any Teddy in this class." So she patiently explained to me that Teddy was her Bear. "He is very fair, lets me win every game we play. He always smiles at me. He takes me everywhere. He is my best friend." So I said, "Well, if you love him so much, you must miss him terribly when you are at school." She frowned. "I never miss him," she explained "because he's always right outside the door in my backpack!"

Lyrics

I LOVE MY TEDDY

By Michael Slack


Verse 1

My Teddy Bear is my best friend
I found him in an old trash can
Now he takes me everywhere
I love that funny silly bear.

Verse 2

Teddy always smiles at me
La la la la -- he's so sweet
Oh, the fun just never ends!
'Cause we're the best of friends.

Oooooooh wheee, my Ted-dy
Ooooooo whee, I know he loves me.


Chorus

I love my Teddy
I love my Teddy
My Teddy is the
only one for me.
And when I'm all alone
I'm never lonely
'Cause Teddy always
keeps me company.

He's the best of bears
He's so awfully fair
Lets me win every
game we play.

And I never ever worry
He'll be gone when I get back
'Cause Teddy rides right
There in my backpack!

Verse 3

And when my day is fin'ly done
Teddy is the only one
I let watch out over me
When I begin to dream.

Verse 4

And when I wake guess who'll be there -
That silly billy Teddy Bear
To laugh and sing and run and play
And love me one more day!

Oooooh yay, a-a-a-all day
Oooooh, whee, I know he loves me.


Repeat Chorus

And, I love my Teddy
I love my Teddy
My Teddy is the
only one for me

And when I'm all alone
I'm never lonely
'Cause Teddy always
keeps me company.

He's the best of bears
Just loves to share
Lets me win every
game we play.

And I'll never ever worry
He'll be gone when I get back
'Cause Teddy always rides
in my backpack!

No, I'll never ever worry
He'll be gone when I get back
'Cause Teddy always rides
in my backpack!
