There was a boy Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it And then we'd watch While he would tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out But he grew tired Of using 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 And 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 go, his dad arrived there He yelled at him Then 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
