(ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS) MY TWO FRONT TEETH (Don Gardner, 1946.)
Everybody stops and stares at me. These two teeth are gone as you can see. I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe! But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
CHORUS: All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, My two front teeth, see my two front teeth! Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, Then I could with you "Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say, "Sister Susie sitting on a thistle." Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be If I could only whistle! (Th-h-h-h-h!) CHORUS.
[Alternative version of last 2 lines:] Ev'ry time I try to speak, All I do is whistle. (S-s-s-s-s!)
[Recorded by the Andrews Sisters, The Chipmunks, Nat King Cole, Spike Jones and His City Slickers, and many others.]
