There  was  a  boy

Who  liked  to  wiggle  his  tooth  loose  so  he  could  show  it

Then  we'd  watch

While  he'd  tie  it  to  a  doorknob,  wind  up,  and  then  slam  it

That  was  how  he  liked  to  have  his  teeth  pulled  out

He  told  us  how  he  liked  to  feel  it  when  it  came  out

He  grew  tired

Of  his  doorknobs  and  so  he  thought  up  a  brand-new  trick

He  said  he'd  tie

His  tooth  to  his  dog's  tail,  find  a  stick,  wind  up,  and  then  throw  it

That  was  how  he  liked  to  have  his  teeth  pulled  out

He  told  us  how  he  liked  to  feel  it  when  it  came  out

He  called  his  dog

But  just  as  he  was  set  to  throw,  his  dad  arrived  there

He  yelled  at  him

And  got  some  pliers,  held  him,  wound  up,  and  yanked  it  out  right  there

That  wasn't  how  he  liked  to  have  his  teeth  pulled  out

He  wouldn't  tell  us  how  it  felt  when  it  came  out
