Thread Name: Lyr Add: (All I Want for...Is) My Two Front Teeth
Subject: Lyr Add: (ALL I WANT FOR...IS) MY TWO FRONT TEETH
(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.]
