Hi,

Well, it could be 10 years - a quick search of the Internet goes back to 1998; in fact the only time a year is given for the text is for 1998. But then, your version has more detail than the version floating around on the Internet has.

Well, if you'll forgive me for rhyming teeth and sea, I'll submit this quick one:

When the house seem to crowd in on us
And we long to be outdoors
And if the rain is not to wet for us
We head towards the shores

C:
(No/And/But) The sea is never dull, my lads
The see is never plain
There's always something new to see
Something never seen again

One day there was this girl there
Who was blowing up her teeth
Till they inflated to the size
Where she could float them on the sea

That girls set out to sea then
Just to float a bit about
But then the wind got hold of her
And she was blown a long way out

We didn't know just what to do,
Didn't know where to begin
But a lobster started chasing her
And he brought the girl back in.

Then while the lobster was deflated
by the hero of the sea
A pair of lifeboats came around
To save a pair of teeth

When we got back home, on the radio,
we heard the lifeboat captain say
"A lobster chasing after teeth
We see that almost every day."
