Teddy Bear

Rating:

Words & Music: Kal Mann/ Bernie Lowe

Baby let me be,
your lovin' Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck,
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind
you love enough.
Just wanna be, your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

Baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair,
And cuddle me real tight

Recorded: 1957/01, first released on single

Great song, impressive film, a young Elvis with so much potential.

This one was on my first ever Elvis LP. Brings back lovely memories of my childhood. It is likely that he got so many teddy bears as a result of this great classic. This is what Rock 'n' Roll is all about - apart from the musical style it contains so much fun. Moreover it is taken from one of his early movies which reflects a lot of the upliftment of the fifties. Obviously Elvis realised that it did and appealed to that sentiment when he included this great song in his performances in the seventies. And he was right to do so, as the fans wanted to relive this time while watching him in the present too.

Perhaps the first Elvis record I ever bought, and still a favourite today, a great Rock 'n' roll classic from The King.
