Oh where oh where is mister bear?
Beneath the bed? Behind the chair?
He is not here he is not there
Oh where oh where is mister bear?
I closed my eyes and counted slow
I've looked up high I've looked down low
I've searched the house from top to toe
oh where oh where did teddy go?
I searched and searched and searched some more
behind the blinds and bathroom door
from attic roof to basement floor
and out around the Apple store
The garage checked the outhouse too
and even checked the barbecue
Beneath the ash and up the flue
oh where oh where dear Ted are you?
Not in the pool or by the slide
Or on the swings he loves to ride
not in the leaves now crisp and dried
oh mister Ted where did you hide?
Olly olly oxen free
please come on out you've beaten me
as now it's time to eat our tea
oh where oh where can teddy be
Oh here I am behind you so
I followed you so quiet and slow
and all the time you did not know
he chuckled soft and fell down low
Oh mister Ted you silly bear
what happy times we too do share
and don't we make a funny pair
playing our games without a care
Now time for tea as dad's made steak
and Mommas baked us both a cake
to wash it down there's ice cream shake
we'll eat until our bellies ache.
Then brush our teeth and into bed
to softly rest our sleepy head
and don't forget your prayers I said
or that I love you mister Ted
