THERE was a man who put on airs,
And said he loved not Teddy Bears;
He said they were all folderol,
And much preferred a pretty doll.

That night he did not say his prayers —
The room grew full of Teddy Bears;
They sat upon his neck and chest,
And would not give him any rest.

He thought the Dolls would be his friends,
So to them cries for help he sends;
They would not come, for all he cried,
Because they were too ladified.
