Lyrics:

California
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
Baby let me be
Around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
I don't want to be a tiger
'Cause tigers play to rough
I don't want to be a lion
-Cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough
I don't want to be a tiger
'Cause tigers play to rough

I don't want to be a rhino
'Cause rhino's horn to gruff
I don't want to be a cheetah
'Cause cheetahs scratch your stuff
I don't want be a lion
'Cause lion's ain't the kind
You love enough
Oh now baby let me be
Around your cage tonight
Wrap your lock around my key
And turn it round just right
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
Oh let me be
Hay hi ho teddy bear
Oh teddy bear
