This is the story of a boy named Ted, if his mother said, Ted be good, he would.
She told him tales about a soldier dad, but it made her sad, and she cried, oh my.
Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good, and he knew he could, cause in his head, he said,
Mother don't worry now, Ted he brought you, taking good care of you.
Mother don't worry, you're Ted's boy, see, Ted he's gonna see you through.
Then came the day she found herself a man, Ted he turned and ran, far away, okay.
He couldn't stand to see his mother in love with another man, he didn't know.
Oh no.
He found a place where he could settle down, and from time to time, in his head, he said,
Mother don't worry now, Ted he brought you, taking good care of you.
Mother don't worry, you're Ted's boy, see, Ted he's gonna see you through.
She said, Ted don't worry now, Mother you see, taking good care of you.
Bob, Ted don't worry, your mommy is here, your mommy's gonna see you through.
This is the story of a boy named Ted, and his mother said, Ted, he could, he would.
