Whin i wuz a littul kid, i heard a myth
i went to the bathroom, to take a pith
i heard that the toothfairy would to me come
to take my teeth away for a small sum

Toothfairy, Toothfairy, another myth to bury
When i learned the truth, i cried
The misty myth went and died
Toothfairy, Toothfairy, are your teeth very hairy?
Toothfairy, Toothfairy, eat, drink and be merry

Once again, childhood dreams are smashed
Happy happiness is quietly mashed
They work for years to convince us it’s real
brainwash us at every meal
Then, as we grow, they throw out the story
The toothfairy’s dad’s name is John Walter Kory

Toothfairy, Toothfairy, another myth to bury
When i learned the truth, i cried
The misty myth went and died
Toothfairy, Toothfairy, are your teeth very hairy?
Toothfairy, Toothfairy, eat, drink and be merry
