A Big Surprise!
When You’re a Kid, Seven Years Old,
Who Mostly Does What She’s Been Told,
It Can Come as a Big Surprise
When Suddenly, Before Your Eyes
A Tooth You’ve Had Since You Were Born
Comes Loose! Pops Out! ‘Fore You Can Mourn,
It’s Sealed Up! Stuck ‘neath Your Pillow!
I Liked That Tooth! Now I Must Go
Try to Sleep Like All’s In Order
Knowing Some Fairy Tooth Hoarder
Fixin’ to Sneak Into My Room
And Sans Negotiations … Boom!
Swipe a Vital Part of Me!
Leave Behind a Most Paltry Fee!
Leave Behind a Most Paltry Fee!
I Wonder, Is That Even Couth
To Steal a Girl’s Beloved Tooth?
Glad There’s No Brain or Bone Fairy!
Still, I Stand Out In Any Crowd!
Which Does Make Me Feel Rather Proud!
Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!
