Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be If I could only whistle All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth Two front teeth, 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 All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth Two front teeth, my two front teeth Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth Then I could wish you, Merry Christmas
