The Teddy Bears They Did

The Teddy Bears they did

The Teddy Bears went out today
With Freddie’s turn to have his say
About what games they all could play
The Teddy Bears they did

Lisa, Lionel, Rupert, Ted
All got up and made their bed
With no complaints and nothing said
The Teddy Bears they did

And so when all the chores were done
They went out into shining sun
With Freddy organise the fun
The Teddy Bears they did

Amongst the trees and up the hill
They ran around with measured skill
To find a secret place until
The Teddy Bears they hid

Lisa went down in a hole
Lionel tried behind a pole
Rupert underneath a bowl
The Teddy Bears they hid

Now Ted he made a tiny sound
Whilst down behind a little mound
Freddy searching Ted now found
The Teddy Bears they hid

All bears found no need to fret
Weather turns, with storm a threat
Hurry up the hill is wet
The Teddy Bears they slid

Now running back in pouring rain
Through the woods and down the lane
Muddy shorts they must explain
The Teddy Bears they slid

And now along the garden path
All stripped off and in the bath
Today they all had such a laugh
The Teddy Bears they did.
