Cecil Sheridan – "Edward My Son" (Tune of Teddy Bears Picnic)


If you go walkin' down Capel Street
You're sure of a big surprise
For nearly all of the boys you meet,
Have creepers and painted ties

Yes we're the boys who're takin' a bashin'
Just because we follow the fashion
We're the boys – the Theodore boys – the TEDDIES

We're just fond of fancy clothes
And why should anyone complain about that, well
goodness knows.
We like velvet here and there
And now we fancy even havin' velvet underwear,
(wouldn't it tickle us)
We all wear our Kingston shirts
For it makes all the difference when we meet the birds
Don't forget that thousands of tourists have come
to see the sights
And there are none like the Teddy Boys

Now some folk think this is just a pose
We've copied from films we've seen
And other people who see our clothes
Think mebbe it's Halloween

But rest assured we're often the losers
Just you try and get into the troosers
Please believe a Teddy-boy's life's no picnic
