You Brush Your Teeth Lyrics
Oh, when you wake up in the morning
at a quarter to one
and you just want to have a little fun ...
CHORUS
You brush your teeth tch-chch-tch-tch-chch-tch-tch.
You brush your teeth tch-chch-tch-tch-chch-tch-tch.
Oh, when you wake up in the morning
at a quarter to two
and you just can’t think of a thing to do ...
CHORUS
… a quarter to three
and your mind starts humming fiddle-di-dee
CHORUS
… a quarter to four
and you’ve just heard a knock on the door
CHORUS
... a quarter to five
and you just want to feel a little ALIVE
CHORUS
… a quarter to six
and you’ve just had a plate of Weet-Bix
CHORUS
