Well, Teddy, I have found you, It's been one week to-day Since I missed you, Teddy dear, While in the yard at play.

I wandered far and wide, And knew not where to go To find you, Teddy, dear, But, oh, I missed you so.
I know some naughty boy Stole you, dear, from me, And if I only knew Who that boy could be,—
I'd scold him, yes, I'd scold him, And I'll just bet he'd not dare To interfere again With my dear little Teddy bear.
And, oh, you were so nice and clean, One would scarcely know That you were the same little Teddy Lost one week ago.
But still I welcome you, my dear, And will wash you nice and clean And try forget that you were lost And believe it all a dream.
So, again I embrace you, Teddy, For I love you just the same, And tho' you look so dirty, 'Twas the boy, you ain't to blame.
