Christmas Song of the Day: All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth

Currently listening to a favorite Christmas CD of mine (Nat King Cole's Cole, Christmas & Kids) and this song is one of the tracks. Always have liked it.

Thanks to worldofchristmas.net for the lyrics and history

Don Gardner has penned the carol 'All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth' and it was first published in 1946. It has almost become a trend with every generation to introduce a new humorous Christmas song that is a parody of this song. In UK, a British comedienne named Dora Bryan recorded a parody on this song in sixties that said, "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle" and it was so funny that in became an instant hit.

Every body stops
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!"
