Teddy
I'm
so sad and lonely
Hurting deep inside
Won't you come a little closer
and see the tears I've cried?
My coat is stained and wrinkled
I've only got one eye
I've been soiled so many times
and then hung out to dry
Still I kept on loving you
through all the tears I've cried
with all the kids in the family
Who once thought I had died
Someone tossed me in the trash
said I wasn't worth a dime
But the kids were sad for my
demise
and bought me some more time
Now they're gone and I'm alone
Sitting on this shelf
No one's touched me for so long
I've been left in the dust by
myself
Remember when the kids were ill?
You called on me each time
I've been everywhere they have
been
Brought comfort without a whine
When they cried, I wiped their
tears
Still got the stains on me
Got gum and candy in my hair
I need a washing you can see
Just put some stuffin' in my
belly
For so long has been caving in
A stitch or two here and there
would fix my torn up chin
A button from the sewing box,
would make me see just fine
I'd love again to have two ears
One's been off a long, long time
Just pick me up and fluff and
buff
And love me once again
You'll see a heart that still
can love
and I'll be your very best
friend.
