All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth is silly little Christmas song composed in 1944 by a music teacher from New York named Donald Yetter Gardner when he noticed that most of his second graders missed at least one front tooth.
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth gathered popularity 4 years later after a record company employee heard the song being played at a teacher’s conference and it was subsequently published. Spike Jones and his City Slickers were the first big group to record it but later it was sung by the likes of Ray Stevens, Nat King Cole and was featured in shows such as Sesame Street or Alvin and the Chipmunks.
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth Lyrics
Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as can be
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, “Merry Christmas”
It seems so long since I could say
“Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, “Merry Christmas”
It seems so long since I could say
“Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, “Merry Christmas”
