Teddy Boy (RS1 By Phil Spector) Songtext
von The Beatles

This is the story of a boy named Ted
If his mother said (said)
"Ted, be good" (be good, Ted)
He would (alright)

She told him tales
About his soldier dad
But it made her sad
Then she cried, oh, my

Ted used to tell her
He′d be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head, he said
"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 gonna see you through"


And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Your mummy′s here
Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy don't worry
Your mommy′s here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

He said, "Do, do, do, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do

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


Day after day
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head, he said
"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 gonna see you through"

And she said
"Teddy don′t worry
Now mommy's here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don′t worry
Now, your mommy's here
Mommy's gonna see you through"

And he said
"Mama, mama, don′t worry
′Cause Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mommy don′t worry
Now Teddy boy's here
Teddy′s gonna see us through"

Take your partners
And dosi-do
Hold them tight
And don't let go
When you got it, jump up

Take your partners
And dosi-do
When you got it
Then let it go
Hold them tight then
Na, na, na, na, na

Now Ted used to tell her
He′d be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head, he said
