Lyrics

Old Ted
words and music by Vikki Lee

Whenever I'm lonely, aching and blue
He says not a word, but he knows what to do
With arms open wide, he takes on my woes
And little by little, my troubles go

He patiently reads, what I like to read
He drinks what I drink, he eats what I eat
And when I have secrets that won't stay in my head
He'll never betray me, not my old Ted
 
And he's my true friend, he really cares
He'll never leave me
He will always be there
He doesn't grumble, yell or despair 
He is my own, old teddy bear

When the sun just won't shine, and I can't find a friend
It is for certain that I can depend
On his silly smile and his friendly stare
He is my own, old teddy bear

And he's my true friend, oh he really cares
He'll never leave me
He will always be there
He doesn't grumble, yell or despair 
He is my own, old teddy bear
Yes he is my own, my old teddy bear
He is my own, old teddy bear
