Santa's Helpers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth (thweeth)
My two front teeth (thweeth)
My two front teeth. (thweeth)
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth (thweeth)
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas.
It seems so long since I could say:
"Sister Susie sitting on the front steps."
Every time I try to speak all I do is whistle: ssssssss.
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth (thweeth)
My two front teeth.




Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth (thweeth)
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas.
