Teddy Bear Blues lyrics

I'm going to make friends : with the fish in the deep blue sea And stop the Chicago women : from arguing over me Come here pretty mama : going to take you far across the pond I'm going to make my stop in Italy : where the monkey‑man don't belong These women in Chicago : they like their fashions and forms But these women from Nashville : swear they just won't be here long I said fair brown : let me be your teddy bear Tie a string on my neck : and I'll follow everywhere
