Just a fuzzy-wuzzy teddy bear I found upstairs today
And it brought sweet happy mem'ries back to me
Was my baby's fondest playmate
And for hours they'd sit and play
And I'd hold'em both together on my knee

Gone though is his childhood and his life on Earth is done
Somewhere in Korea 'cross the sea
But I still have fuzzy-wuzzy teddy bear, his favorite chum
And it brings sweet happy mem'ries back to me

Many hours they played together, then to bed after a prayer
And I'd have to kiss old fuzzy-wuzzy too
He would laught with glee and hug his fuzzy-wuzzy teddy bear
Then I'd dim the lights, their busy day was through

"Somewhere in Korea" that's the way the message read
Blinding tears were fallin' from my eyes
They were sorry but they had to tell me that my boy was dead
And so far away from home tonight he lies

Oh it seems like only yesterday they played upon the floor
He and fuzzy-wuzzy sharing every toy
Days I never will forget, if I live a million more
When I pictured him to be my pride and joy
Proud he died a hero, but no joy prevails tonight
Somewhere in Korea is his grave
Now old fuzzy wuzzy teddy bear sits all alone tonight
And seems to share the bitter truth so brave
