The Beatles - Teddy Boy Lyrics

This is the story about a boy named Ted
If his mother said, ‽Ted, be good,” he would
(Be good Ted, alright)
She told him tales about a soldier dad
But it made her sad then she cried, oh my

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

‽Mommy, don't worry now Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mama don't worry â€~cause your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through”

And she said, ‽Teddy don't worry your mommy's here
Taking good care of you
She said, ‽Teddy don't worry your mommy's here”
‽Teddy's gonna see you through”
He said, du du du

Then came the day she found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran oh far away, oh yeah
He couldn't stand it just to be around
So he left the town far away, yeah yeah

Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good
And he know he could 'cause in his head he said

‽Mommy don't worry now Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mommy don't worry your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through”

And she said, ‽Teddy don't worry now mommy is here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don't worry now your mommy is here
Mommy's gonna see you through”

And he said, ‽Mommy mommy don't worry
Your Teddy boy's here taking good care of you
Mommy don't worry now Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see us through”

Take your partners and do-si-do
Hold them tight and don't let go
When you've got it, jump up

Take your partners and do-si-do
When you've got it then let it go
Hold them tight then

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