[C] [Am]
[E] [G]
I am an old teddy [C] bear, as nice as [Am] it is
And [D] every time I'm going to hum a little, [G] I start laughing
I learned that from Marianne, she's the one who [Am] owns me
[D] And no one can be as nice as Marianne and I
When Marianne has put me [Am] to bed, and I know [D] it's evening
I hum a song I've composed about myself
And I've made [C] a song about an [Am] old melody
[D] From when I was big, I won the circus Tivoli
It was a big Tivoli [C] with lights and [Am] music
[D] And I was sick, and every [G] time the carousel went
I thought I would hope the one [C] who wins [Am] me tonight
Has [D] enough money to take me on a [G] carousel
Then a little girl came over, and [Am] it was [D] Marianne
With a lot of money in [G] her pocket and a little hand
She bought a lot of tickets, and [C] I thought, you [Am] and me
[D] How fun it will be [G] to go on a carousel with you
But suddenly I fell [C] in, and [Am] you know what she said
[D] Now I have no money [G] left, but I'm just as happy
I hugged you, I heard [C] you, and didn't think [Am] of me
[D] Then I'd rather win [G] a rich man than you
Because many bought tickets for [Am] me, in the end an old [D] man
And I've never seen so [G] much money as he did
But still he saved so [C] much, I thought [Am] for a weekend
[D] He saves for him, and [G] I'm going to ride a carousel
And you know [C] who [Am] would win me [D] tonight
Yes, it was him with the money, [G] and ask if I was happy
Now I'm going to ride a [C] carousel, but you know [Am] what I got
[D] A blue paper around my stomach before [G] he took me and left
I was not packed up once, [Am] he put me on [D] a cot
And I who thought rich [G] bums had it so good
Then it would have been better to [C] be won by [Am] a friend
[D] Who does not own money, but [G] who loves you again
So I lay for a long time, [C] but one day [Am] they took me down
[D] And left me in his car [G] and drove to a place
Yes, it's almost strange [C] that something like that [Am] she can
[D] For the one who packed up [G] was little Marian
And he was her best [Am] father and took her [D] up on the catch
Then she was going to a teddy [G] bear in the first day's present
And Marian was very [C] wild, she danced [Am] and she sang
[D] And I got to spin around and [G] around for the very first time
And since I spin [C] almost more [Am] than I want
[D] Because Marian is not [G] the one who left me lying still
And the slug has eaten [C] the box and the hair is [Am] falling off
[D] But it does not matter, [G] the world is buzzing and is happy
And if I lose bigger [Am] things like the head or the [D] legs
Marian takes a [G] huffington of acid on again
And it's much better [C] than to put [Am] a piece of silk
[D] With silk around [G] his neck and never be with
[C] [Am] [E]
