Stubborn Bicuspid (0:50)
by Jackie
 

I'm six, and my Tooth is falling out,
      but I won't let it
Cause what if it hurts, so I cry and scream ah
And they yell
And send me to my room,
And I cry and thrash
More like a tiger than a girl, Mommy says stop
But I don't care they can't take my Tooth
So I stay there and so does my Tooth
Until the next day when I go to school,
And my tooth is still in
And it's staying that way,
But then I'm playing house
And I'm the daughter
And my play-Mommy gives me a hug and
I hit my head on her shoulder and
Out comes my tooth.
