Enjoy :o) 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 |
