Teddy Boy (Savile Row Sessions) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, (John Lennon)]
This is the story
About 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

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
Because in his head he said
"Mummy don't worry
Your mblmblmbl's here
Taking good care of you
Mama don't worry
Your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"

[Chorus]
And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Teddy's going to see you through"
He said, "Ta da da"

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] [x2]

[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Take your partners
And do-si-do
Hold them tight
And don't let go
When you've got it. Jump up

Take your partners
And do-si-do
When you got it
Then let it go
Hold them tight then
Now Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
Because in his head, he said

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
