But it made her sad, then she'd cry

Ted used to tell her, he'd be twice as good
And he knew he could 'cause in his head
He said:

Taking good care of you
Mommy, don't worry your Teddy boy's here,
E A | D A | D A |
Teddy's gonna see you through."

With another man he didn't know

Teddy's gonna see you through."

Taking good care of you.
Teddy, don't worry your mummy is here,
E A | D A | D A | D A |
Mummy's gonna see you through." (ooooh-ah ooh-ooh)
