The Tooth Book
[Intro]
Yo, this is The Tooth Book, written by Dr Seuss, and I'm gonna rap this book
[Verse 1]
Who has teeth? Well, look around, and you'll find out who
You'll find that red-headed uncles do
Policeman do, and zebras too
And unicycle riders do
And camels and their drivers do
Even little girls named Ruthie all have teeth
Yeah, all Ruths are toothy
[Verse 2]
Teeth, you find them everywhere
On mountaintops and in the air
And if you care to poke around
You'll even find them underground
You'll find them East, West, North, and South
You'll find them in a lion's mouth
Teeth, they are very much in style
They must bе very much worthwhile
[Verse 3]
They comе in handy when you chew
Says Mr. Donald Driscoll Drew
That's why my family grew a few
They come in handy when you smile
Says Smiling Sam the Crocodile
They come in handy in my job
Says high trapeezer Mike McCobb
If I should ever lose a tooth
I'll lose my wife, and that's the truth
Teeth come in handy when you speak
Says news broadcaster Quincy Queek
Without my teeth, I'll talk like ducks
And only broadcast quacks and klucks
You're lucky that you have your teeth
Says a sad, sad snail named Simon Sneeth
I don't have one; I can never smile
Like Smiling Sam the Crocodile
[Verse 4]
Clams have no teeth, says Pam the Clam
I cannot eat hot dogs or ham
No teeth at all, says Pam the Clam
I cannot eat roast leg of lamb
Or peanuts, pizzas, popcorn, spam
Not even huckleberry jam
Without teeth, we can't play trombones
Says a jellyfish named Jimbo Jones
I have no teeth, says Hilda Hen
But women do, and so do men
[Verse 5]
So I have happy news for you
You will grow 2 sets: set 1, set 2
You will lose set number 1
And when you do, it's not much fun
But then, you'll grow set number 2
32 teeth, and all brand new
16 downstairs, and 16 more
Upstairs on the upper floor
And when you get your 2nd set
That's all the teeth you'll ever get
[Bridge]
So, don't chew down trees like beavers do
If you try, you'll lose set number 2
[Verse 6]
And don't be dumb like Mr. Glotz
Don't break your teeth untying knots
And don't be dumb like Katy Klopps
Don't try to chew off bottle tops
And don't gobble junk like Billy Billings
They say his teeth have 50 fillings
[Bridge 2]
They sure are handy when you smile
So keep your teeth around awhile
[Outro]
And never bite your dentist when he works inside your head
Your dentist is your teeth's best friend, so bite someone else instead
