ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH
Words and Music by Donald Gardner
ll I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
Just 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 Suzy sitting on a thistle”
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I’d be
If I could only “whithle”
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
Just my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
Just my two front teeth
Gee, I if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
Just my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
Then I could wish you merry Christmas

Well, I knew NOTHING about this song when I ran across this animated video of the song:

And it won me over any spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey ever could! How could I help it? Yes, hildarity ensues…

I’m not sure how this sort of thing works (living in the last millenia, alas) but this interactive app version of the song looks interesting:
