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.
