Stagger Lee

Way back in Teddy Town when times were tough
He had one eye missing, he was full of fluff
Stagger Lee
He was the meanest teddy bear in all the land
He had the biggest pot of honey in his red right hand
Stagger Lee
One day he walked out the door, he walked down the stairs
He walked up the road to the Teddy Bear Fair
Stagger Lee
All the teddy bears were there but he did not care
He held on to his honey and he would not share
Stagger Lee
He said 'My name is Stagger Lee and honey's what I've got
But I'm not gonna share whats in my pot
I'm Stagger Lee
So all the teddy's turned their backs and the walked away
The teddy dance was due to start so they all said 'YAY'
But not Stagger Lee
He watched all the bears in pairs as they sang and danced
Then he saw a pretty teddy so he thought that he'd take a chance
Stagger Lee
He said 'My name is Stagger Lee and as you see I'm free
So pretty little teddy would you dance with me?
I'm Stagger Lee
She said 'Stagger Lee you're so mean and you're selfish too
But give me some honey and I'll dance with you
Stagger Lee
So they danced into the night and honey's what she got
He gave her every drop of honey in his pot
Yeah, Stagger Lee
Now all the teddy bears they say Stagger Lee's ok
He's been a nicer teddy since that very day
Yeah Stagger Lee 
Dance
