A D
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose.
E E7 A
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes.
D
Sitting on a shelf in a local department store.
E E7 E6 E A
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
A D
I wish I was a Teddy Bear.
E E7 A
Not livin' or lovin' or goin' no where.
A D
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
E E7 E6 E A
and a wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
A D
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sewed on smile,
E E7 A
then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time.
D
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
E E7 E6 E A
and I never would of ever had to learn how to cry.
A D
I wish I was a Teddy Bear.
E E7 A
Not livin' or lovin' or goin' no where.
A D
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
E E7 E6 E A
and a wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
Bb Eb
I wish I had a string you could pulll to make me say,
F F7 F Bb
"Hi I'm Teddy, ain't it a lovely day".
Eb
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words would rhyme
F F7 F F6 F7 Bb
and no one would ever know the mess I've made of my life.
Bb Eb
I wish I was a Teddy Bear.
F F7 Bb
Not livin' or lovin' or goin' no where.
Bb Eb
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
F F7 F6 F Bb
and a wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
F F7 F6 F Bb
and a wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
Enjoy!
