Brushing My Teeth
Barney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I'm brushing my teeth on top
It's so much fun, I hate to stop

But while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun
I never let the water run, no I never let the water run

Oh, I'm brushing my teeth on the bottom
'Cause I wouldn't wanna say that I forgot em'

But while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun
I never let the water run, no, I never let the water run

Oh, I'm brushing my teeth in back
Gotta get rid of all the plaque

But while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun
I never let the water run, no, I never let the water run
I never let the water run, no, I never let the water run

Oh, I'm brushing my teeth all around
'Cause I like to hear the squishing sound





But while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much
I never let the water run, no, never let the water run
