TEDDY. Copyright, 1891, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by Joseph Hart. 
I have a pretty sweetheart whom I tease; he is waiting now for me to say When his true and loving wife I'll be; I've promised I would tell him every day; he is the only one I ever loved; Last evening as he kissed me good-bye He asked me to promise next eve we'd wed, And to him I made this reply: 
Chorus. Teddy! Teddy! I'll be ready-ready with a heart so true-By the gate at half-past eight, love, I will watch for you; Do not tarry, then we'll marry, for my heart you carry, Teddy; Good-night, sleep tight, pleasant dreams-I love you, yes I do! 
Oh, every evening when no one is near, And all nature seems to be at rest, In a little quiet, shady nook. There my love he tries to test; Enraptured with sweet bliss, he steals a kiss; As homeward we would slowly stray, When in front of my door he would ask once more, And to him I softly would say:-Chorus.
