Lyrics

Verse 1
Theodore, the meaning's written
right into the sound:
"the gift" — that's what they called you
before you came around.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Theodore, the present with a pulse,
we've unwrapped a lot of good things — you outshine the whole bunch,
so it's strange to bring you gifts today, it's coals to Newcastle, true,
Theodore, the party's just the wrapping — the gift was always you.
Verse 2
Teddy with the steady hands,
the fixer of the small stuff,
glasses, hinges, hurt feelings —
you never say it's enough.
Bridge
A president, a bear, and you
all share the name, all three,
but only one shows up with tools
when we break what we can't see.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Theodore, the present with a pulse,
Theodore, the gift keeps giving — every year, no faults.
