This book is by an artist from New Zealand, and published by Scholastic, Inc., but is weirdly not available in the USA.  Hmmm.  This is one of those mysteries of publication…why can’t we buy this here?

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

I’ve been gathering items for pictures to make an illustration for this song, including vintage LP and 45 record covers. Scanned, they clean up pretty good!
