Me and my teddy bear
Peter Gabriel · Other Songs - Peter Gabriel
have no trouble have no care
Me and my teddy bear
just play and play all day.
I love my teddy bear
he has one eye and has no hair
I love my teddy bear
We play and play all day.
Every night he's with me
when I climb up the stairs
and by my bed he listens
until I say my prayers.
Oh, me and my teddy bear
have no trouble have no care
Me and my teddy bear
we play (blp blp) and play (blp blp)
all day!
