I wish I had button eyes and a [D] red belt nose
[E] Shaggy cotton skin and just one [A] set of clothes
Sitting on a shelf in a local [D] department store
With [E] no dreams to dream and nothing to be [A] sorry for
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
Not living [E] or loving, nor going [A] nowhere
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
[A] And I'm wishing that I [E] hadn't fallen in [A] love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a [D] sawdust smile
Then [E] your memory wouldn't come around hurting [A] all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in [D] my eye
And [E] I never would have ever had to learn [A] how to cry
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
Not living [E] or loving, nor going [A] nowhere
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
[A] And I'm wishing that I [E] hadn't fallen in [A] love with you
I [Bb] wish I had a string you could pull to make [Eb] me sing
[F] Huh?
I'm Teddy.
Ain't it a [Bb] lovely day
Then I'd know every time I spoke the [Eb] words weren't right
[F] And no one would know the mess I made of [Bb] my life
I wish I was a [Eb] teddy bear
Not living [F] or loving, nor going [Bb] nowhere
I wish I was a [Eb] teddy bear
[Bb] And I'm wishing that I [F] hadn't fallen in [Bb] love with you
And I'm wishing that I [F] hadn't fallen in [Bb] love with you
[E] Shaggy cotton skin and just one [A] set of clothes
