A Teddy Bear Affair

There’s Teddys on the road ,
Teddys on the bridge ,
Teddy’s in the pub
and Teddy’s in the fridge ,
There’s Teddys on the shelf ,
Teddys on the skids ,
Teddys with no friends
and Teddys with no kids .

A Teddy bear can be a him or a her .
For me Teddy has been a one long affair .
This is the story of the Teddy I know
who passed me by way one day and we said hello .

I’m just a little lost lonely Teddy bear .
I don’t have a home does any body care .
I wish that I had some one to hold me tight .
Its awfully cold and scary here tonight .

I’ve know what its like to be without a home .
Its sad when your left in the world all alone .
I’d be happy for you to come to my place
With any others from the Teddy Bear race .

Teddy stared crying and the tears fell down
The tears touched my heart as they fell to the ground .

To get ahead me and Ted shared a bed .
We installed internet and phone ,
me and Ted .
As the days passed by our relationship grew ,
Teddy’s never leave they get attached to you .

Teddy and me we love to play the guitar .
And we like driving around town in the car
We like to have picnics on a Summers day
We enjoy bush walks and finding games to play .

I’ve not regretted one day in all these years
I’ve shared secrets with Ted and even some tears .
When I had to break the news about my wife ,
Teddy was quite jealous of her in my life .

When I told my wife of Ted she was in shock ,
Then the next thing she began to run amok .
Teddy looked at her as she began to shout ,
She went wild and started throwing things about .

Just how long has this been going on she said .
I looked in her eyes and said
“What me and Ted ?”
Ok I know it was our honeymoon night
And Teddy was in the Bed but that’s all right .

So when she came back to bed she would not speak
That was until the waterbed sprung leak .
She screamed at poor Teddy who was soaking wet
I lifted Teddy up and watched the TV set .

She left the room and not with a happy heart
Something went wrong and had broken us apart .
I often look at Ted on those lonely nights
And think how lucky we are not to have fights .

Teddy’s never left and I know never will .
She’s just a big softie and she loves me still
Now that Teddy knows that someone out there cares ,
the whole house is filled
with little teddy bears .
