Sweet Tooth Lyrics



Sweet tooth, crying shame

Sweet tooth, crying shame

Sweet tooth, crying shame

Gotta feed a sweet tooth ten times a day

Just to hear the wind blowing on a windy day



Cairo is a mean old town

Cairo is a mean old town

Cairo is a mean old town

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

And it's a slow ride on the Santa Fe

And it's a slow ride on the Santa Fe

Crawling like a bear underneath the chair

Looking for the sweet tooth



And there's a poor little bean in the diner car

There's a poor little bean in the diner car

There's a poor little bean in the diner car

Said it's so hard to wait sittin' on a plate

I wish I was a candy bar



Said little brother to sister Sue

Said little brother to sister Sue

Said little brother to sister Sue

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

I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth

I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth

I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth

I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth

I want to be your honey but I got a sweet tooth

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

Said the little bear to the honey bee

Said the little bear to the honey bee

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

Said the soothsayer to the candy cane

Said the soothsayer to the candy cane

Ah honey let me try you one more time

I'll tell you if taste the same



I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

I'm goin' to the doctor, gonna pull my sweet tooth

The sign said closed Sunday

And there ain't nothin' left to do but pray



Ah come on give me some of that novacane

Come on give me some of that novacane

Come on give me some of that novacane

Come on give me some of that novacane

Come on give me some of that novacane

Come on give me some of that novacane

Keep the sugar coming through a sugar straw

I don't want to feel the pain



Tooth on a string, string on a knob

Tooth on a string, string on a knob

Tooth on a string, string on a knob

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

I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two

I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two

I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two

I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two

I'll meet the King of Candy at a quarter to two

He'll feed my sweet tooth, bye and bye

And he says he got somethin' gonna satisfy



Sheep's in the meadow, wolf's in the house

Sheep's in the meadow, wolf's in the house

Sheep's in the meadow, wolf's in the house

Candy's in the hand of the candy man

And the sweet tooth is in my mouth
