Cover is not by Winsor McKay. Music written by Al Gumble, lyrics by Dave Clark. It's assumed that the song was written to cash in on the Teddy Bear craze and the popularity of Little Nemo. To profit still further, the sheet music states that the song was "Successfully interpolated in The Wizard of Oz". No contemporary Wizard of Oz program has been found that confirms that this song was ever performed. So it is unknown what character sang it or where it was used in the show - assuming it was in fact an actual interpolation. An excerpt of the lyrics: But Nemo had a bad dream / And he woke up with a start / Dreamed his teddy bear had grown up / And was pulling him apart! / Now doggie gets the nice things / And his bear is laid away. 10 3/4-in. x 13 3/4-in., 6 total pages, B&W.
