The Teddy Bear Song

(Nick Nixon - Don Earl)
 I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
 Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
 Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
 With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
 I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
 Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
 I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
 And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry.
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
 I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
 Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
 Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
 And no one would know the mess I made of my life.
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
 I wish I was a Teddy Bear
 And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
 And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you...
