Paul McCartney
Teddy Boy (1969 Glyn Johns Mix)
[Intro: Paul McCartney]
"Mama, don't worry now, Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you"
"Mama, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
It just goes that
"Ted is gonna see you through"

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
This is the story about a boy named Ted
If his mother said, "Ted, be good", he would
She told him tales about his soldier dad
But it made her sad
Then she cried, oh my

[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good
And he knew he could, because in his head he said:
"Mummy, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Taking good carе of you
Mama, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Tеddy's going to see you through"

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Then came the day, she found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran
Oh, far away, oh yeah
He couldn't stand just to be around
So he left the town far away, yeah, yeah
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
Within the day, la-de-da-di, run
Oh now, c'mon Teddy boy
You know, baby boy, nah-nah, oh-nah-nah

[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
"Momma, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Momma, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
And she said, "Teddy, don't worry, now momma is here
Taking good care of you"
"Teddy, don't worry, now your momma is here
Momma going to see you through"
And he said, "Momma, momma, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Momma, don't worry, now Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Interlude: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Take your partners and do-si-do
Hold them tight and don't let go (La-la-la, la-la-la)
When you've got it, jump up (Oh yeah)
Take your partners and do-si-do (La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
When you got it, then let it go (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Hold them tight then (Oh yeah)
[Refrain: Paul McCartney]
Now Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
Because in his head, he said
"Mummy, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mama, don't worry, your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
And she said, "Teddy, don't worry, 'cause momma's here
Taking good care of you"
"Teddy, don't worry, your momma's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Outro: Paul McCartney]
