All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Spike Jones His City Slickers Lyrics

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
It was the evening prior to Christmas and there was utter silence throughout the house.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
There was no movement or sound whatsoever, not even from the tiniest of creatures.

Suddenly I heard a strange noise down below
Out of nowhere, I heard an unfamiliar sound coming from downstairs.

So, in my flannel pajamas I went tippy-toe
I put on my warm flannel pajamas and tiptoed down the stairs.

I could see old Saint Nick from the spot where I stood
From my vantage point, I could see none other than Santa Claus himself.

So I slid down the banister just as fast as I could
Without wasting a moment, I quickly went down the staircase by sliding down the banister.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
The only thing I desire for Christmas is to have my two front teeth back.

My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth
I am referring specifically to the two front teeth that are currently missing from my mouth.

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
I earnestly wish that I could miraculously regrow my two front teeth.

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
With my front teeth restored, I would then be able to properly enunciate and consequently, wish you a Merry Christmas.

It seems so long since I could say
It has been such a prolonged time since I was able to communicate in the manner that I desire.

Sister, Suzy sitting on a thistle
I recall the specific phrase 'Sister Suzy sitting on a thistle' that I have been unable to say for a while.

Every time I try to speak
Whenever I attempt to articulate, I am unable to convey the intended message.

Huh, all I do is whistle
Instead of speaking, I end up producing a whistling sound which is not at all helpful.

Good old Santa Claus and all his reindeer
I think fondly of Santa Claus and all his trusty reindeer.

They used to bring me lots of toys and candy
In the past, they would always bring me a plethora of gifts and treats.

Gee, but, but now when I go out and call Dancer, Prancer, Donnner and Blitzen
However, when I attempt to summon the reindeer by calling out their names - Dancer, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen - it seems they no longer comprehend my words.

None of 'em can understand me
Unfortunately, it appears that none of the reindeer can comprehend my speech anymore.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
Once again, I must emphasize that my sole Christmas wish is to have my two front teeth restored.

So I can wish you merry Christmas, Christmas, Christmas
By having my front teeth back, I will be able to properly greet and convey my Christmas wishes to you.

Aww, for goodness sakes
This phrase is an expression of exasperation or surprise.

Happy New Year
This last phrase is a customary greeting to wish someone a fulfilling and cheerful New Year.
