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."
