Round and round the garden
Like a teddy bear.
One step, two step,
Tickle you under there!
Why and how do teddy bears go round and round gardens? What are they doing out there? Do they live in particular kinds of gardens? Is it where they live when they're not off having picnics in the woods?

And obviously, teddy bears go round and round gardens in order to rhyme with "there". It's very important to them.
Is it really that free form in terms of body parts used, or can you enlighten me as to how it ought to be done?
It's just possible it has something to do with Andy Pandy and Teddy, but I certainly remember it from very young childhood. And it makes a three-year-old friend of mine giggle a lot. She demands frequent repetition.
Right about there, sat a little hare <--- Circles on palm or stomach
Along came a pussycat... <--- Pause
And chased him under there! Tickle under the armpit!
Those teddy bears get around.
Free the mad bears!
