Teddy's gonna see you through

Then came the day she found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran far away, OK
He couldn't stand to see his mother in love
With another man, he didn't know, oh no

And from time to time, in his head, he said

Mama don't worry, now Teddy boy is here
Taking good care of you
Mamma don't worry now Teddy is here
Teddy's gonna see you through

And she said, Teddy don't worry, your mummy is here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don't worry now mummy is here
Mummy's gonna see you through
