A5                                       D5 
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose 
E5                                      A5 
shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes 
                                         D5 
sittin' on a shelf in a local department store 
     E5                                          A5 
with no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for 
A5         A5         D5 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
              E5                  A5 
not livin' or lovin' nor going nowhere 
          A5         D5 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
        A5                     E5              A5 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you  
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind 
then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time 
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye 
and I never would've ever had to learn how to cry 
 
 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
