I Remember, I Remember
I remember, I remember,
My scruffy old teddy bear,
It used to keep me company
When I was in despair;
I cuddled it while sleeping,
To prevent any nightmares.
But now, all I do with it
Is to throw it down the stairs.
I remember, I remember
My kind old nursery maid,
My mother wanted to sleep with me,
Yet I slept with her instead;
She told me the best stories,
Which made me go straight to bed,
And advised me to eat healthy,
So I would stay alive, not dead.
I remember, I remember
When my best friend got two cats,
I became a little jealous,
Because I couldn’t keep pets;
However, she shared them with me,
And played with me every day!
I have to admit, with that type of friends
You’ll always be okay.
