I've Lost My Teddy Bear 1908

I want to sing a song
about a little Teddy Bear
that I used to carry
with me all around,
and ev'ry one that knew me
called my little Teddy, dear,
"The cutest little thing
that could be found."
I used to hug and kiss him,
Oh! he was so sweet,
and sometimes I would toss him
to my beau,
One evening when I did so
he quickly disappeared
and where he went to
no one seems to know.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.

I often wonder why
my little Teddy went away
when I loved him better
than I did my life,
I fondled and caressed him
ev'ry night and ev'ry day
and had he been a man
I'd be his wife,
I know he never went away
on his own accord
because he never was a naughty boy,
who ever finds my Bear for me
will get a nice reward,
and it will fill
my aching heart with joy.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.

When first I missed my Teddy Bear,
it gave me such alarm
that I thought that
I would be a nervous wreck;
he wore no clothes the night he left
amid an awful storm
except a pretty ribbon 'round his neck.
I've searched all o'er for him
but have not found him yet
I wonder why he ever went to roam,
I'll give the finder all the love
I gave my little pet
and lots of other nice things I've at home.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.

I have lost my Teddy Bear
and I don't know where to find him,
I have searched most ev'rywhere,
if you see him please remind him,
that I love him just the same,
please handle him with care,
Have you seen him? No!
Oh! what am I to do?
I have lost my Teddy Bear.
