Sky Ted

Every teddy knows that every girl and and every boy Needs to have a teddy who will be their pride and joy A teddy bear companion in the life of him or her Will be a snuggle buddy even when they’ve lost their fur For when a bear is truly loved its fur will start to wear A sure sign that that cherished bear was carried everywhere And snuggled with your bear at night when mum turns out the light There is no need to fear the dark with teddy cuddled tight But wait, I hear you say, what if you haven’t got a bear The truth is there’s a bear for everybody, everywhere But there’s no Santa Claus for those who never think to ask So bears are brought to children by a teddy in a mask Sky Ted lives upon a cloud, he has a telescope He uses it to see through ceilings in persistent hope That every child he finds will have a bear to help him cope But Sky Ted takes corrective action when his scope says, “Nope.” For rainbows don’t just happen; Sky Ted makes them with a wish And rides down on a unicorn to visit little kids So if you haven’t got a bear, there’s no need to complain For Sky Ted distributes his teddies, even in the rain But Sky Ted has a schedule that will sometimes leave him beat And one or two of you have bears you think you’ll never meet For it’s a great big world and Sky Ted truly does his best But there's a teddy looking down, with your name on its vest So if you’re too old for a bear (which never shall be true) You sense someone, but no-one’s there - your bear is watching you So hug the bear you have; if you have none then just pretend For wherever your bear may be, he’s there and he’s your friend For every child that’s ever born, a teddy bears their name And Sky Ted’s making rainbows, which to him is not a game So whether you be four or forty, even ninety eight Your bear will one day find you: All you need to do is wait.
