Entire song is done in a falsetto little boy's voice and on most sibilant \"s\"'s, a \"whistling\" sound is heard, much as would be emitted by one lacking his two front teeth. |
|
spoken intro: |
|
'twas the night before christmas and all through the house |
|
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse |
|
suddenly i heard a strange noise down below |
|
so, in my flannel pajamas i went tippy-toe |
|
i could see old saint nick from the spot where i stood |
|
so i slid down the banister just as fast as i could |
|
Sung: |
|
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 suzy sitting on a thistle |
|
every time i try to speak |
|
huh, all i do is 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 |
|
Tongue click, bicycle bell, and an \"oh, no!\" |
|
\"jingle bells\" resumes in the second line of a verse |
|
tongue click, bicycle bell, and an \"oh, no!\" |
|
\"jingle bells\" resumes in the second line of a verse |
|
horse whinny and a sneeze |
|
\"jingle bells\" resumes in the second line of a verse |
|
horse whinny and a sneeze |
|
\"jingle bells\" completes its verse |
|
Spoken: |
|
good old santa claus and all his reindeer |
|
huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy |
|
gee, but, but now when i go out and call \"dancer, prancer, donnner and blitzen\" |
|
none of 'em can understand me |
|
cries |
|
all i want for christmas is my two front teeth |
|
my two front teeth, see my two front teeth? |
|
two more attempts to sound it correctly |
|
all i want for christmas is my two front teeth |
|
so i can wish you merry christmas |
|
christmas, christmas |
|
aww, for goodness sakes |
|
happy new year! |
