Hap Palmer - Tiger With a Toothbrush lyrics

There's a tiger with a toothbrush
Standing next to me
He has a brush like mine but
It's three times a big
I squeeze him extra paste because
He likes the taste
Then we brush our teeth together
As we dance a jig
Tiger shakes his stripes and
Swings his slender tail
And bounces to the rhythm as
He purrs and hums he pats his furry paws and
Taps his curving claws
Then gives a happy "grrr" as
He cleans his gums
That rascal keeps me laughing
Singing as we're cleaning, ho, ho, ho, ho
I love to brush my teeth and gums
Whenever my friend Tiger comes
Tiger makes me giggle as he
Twists and turns his lips
And shifts his chin to brush
In every little place
Front, back, top, side
Everywhere the plaque hides
He puffs his cheeks and brushes
With a funny face
When it's time to brush my teeth
I skip up to the sink
My parents stare in disbelief
They don't know what to think
They used to nudge and nag me
"Brush your teeth!" i hollered No!
Now they can't believe how cheerfully I go
That rascal keeps me laughing
Singing as we're cleaning, ho, ho, ho, ho
I love to brush my teeth and gums
Whenever my friend Tiger comes
When mom or dad peek in
They never see my friend
They think I'm all alone
Just playing make-believe
'Cause when adults are near
My tiger disappears
But he comes back to brush
When all the grown-ups leave
Yes, he comes back to brush
When all the grown-ups leave
