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.

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
