Preface
If you could remember the Christmas special of the Chipmunks and Goofy, then this song would definitely ring a bell. This is a funny song of a second grader wishing for Santa to give him his two front teeth back because as we all know children of this age usually lose their milk teeth and grow their permanent teeth after a few months. Because the two front teeth are the most exposed, they are usually the first to give way.
Origin and History of the Carol
The song, which was originally composed by a second grade teacher on 1944, became famous due to famous cartoons such as Goofy and the Chipmunks but most American children already know the song from their parents and they enjoy it because of its upbeat melody and funny antics about this everyday occurrence.
Numerous versions and parodies have been made for this song but the original version never fails to place a smile on people’s faces, even though these smiles are two teeth less. Pardon the pun
All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth Lyrics
Every body Pauses 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!
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 wish 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 (thhhh, thhhh)
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 wish you
“Merry Christmas!”
