Ttto Teddy Bears' Picnic
(dedicated to Loiosh)
If you go out of your mind today
you'd better not go alone.
If you go out of your mind today
take something to call your own:
A mascot or familiar or friend
to cheer you up, and let you pretend
you're not alone, and help you avoid a breakdown.
If you go out of your mind today
you'd better not go too far.
You can't get back by using a map
on foot or by train or car.
But someone who is part of your mind
yet separate, too, can help you to find
your sanity and make it back from a breakdown.
Dragon, doll, or teddy bear,
someone who'll always care
and never will turn away from you.
Just ignore that stranger's stare,
you know your friend right there
will give you a different point of view.
Listen to his° good advice,
don't make him° tell you twice,
he's° faithful and true and fair.
And remember, when that voice in your head
points out it's time for bed,
that you're a "tired little teddy bear".
[repeat 1st verse]
