When I start to get sleepy, I like to sing a lullaby.

Overview

“Teddy Ruxpin Lullabies” is a compilation of lullabies written by Ken Forsse and composed by George Wilkins. Of the early Adventure Series entries, it is most notable for being the earliest entry to feature only Phil Baron’s voice. Aside from a brief introduction, this is the first entry to be primarily a musical compilation, lacking almost any story behind it. A sequel entry called “Lullabies II” would later be released with a host of brand new songs.

Summary

In “Teddy Ruxpin Lullabies”, Teddy Ruxpin begins by explaining that he’s having a hard time falling to sleep. In an effort to fall asleep, he begins singing a series of lullabies, eventually falling asleep.
