Sweet tooth's crying shame (X3)
Gotta feed a sweet tooth ten times a day
Just to hear the wind blowing on a windy day
(Now) Cairo (Kayro) is a mean old town (X3)
That's what my Uncle John told me
When the sweet tooth got him down
(And) it's a slow ride on the Santa Fe (Fee) (X3)
Crawling like a bear underneath the chair
Looking for the sweet tooth
And there's a poor little bean in the diner car (X3)
Said it's so hard to wait sittin' on a plate
I wish I was a candy bar
Instrumental
Said little brother to sister Sue (X3)
Ah I got a sweet tooth for the tooth fairy
And I'm workin' on a cavity
I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth (X6)
I asked you once, I won't ask you twice
Come and be my sugar daddy, I'll treat you nice
Said the little bear to the honey bee (X3)
I'd do anything in this doggone mighty world
If you'd give in to your sweet tooth
Said the soothsayer to the candy cane (X3)
Ah honey let me try you one more time
I'll tell you if it taste the same
(Well) I'm goin' to the doctor,
Gonna pull my sweet tooth (X6)
The sign said 'closed Sunday'
And there ain't nothin' left to do but pray
Ah come on give me some of that novacane (X6)
Keep the sugar coming through a sugar (candy) straw
I don't want to feel the pain
Tooth on a string, string on a knob (X3)
That well water better make me well
Cause the sweet tooth is hurtin' like a ringing bell
And there's an angel in the attic, sugar on top
There's an angel in the attic, sugar on top
Oh, pretty please with sugar on top
That when I die, sweet tooth in hand
I'm begging Peter send me to the candy land
I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two (X6)
He'll feed my sweet tooth, bye and bye
And he says he got somethin' gonna satisfy
Now the sheep's in the meadow,
The wolf's in the house (X3)
The candy's in the hand of the candy man
And the sweet tooth's in my mouth
