Sweet Tooth
Sherbet dabs and sherbet dips,
Sherbet fountains, sherbet pips,
Foam bananas, candy sticks,
Flying saucers, pic n’ mix,
Jelly babies, jelly tots,
Lots and lots and lots and lots,
I like sweets
There is no doubt
But now my teeth
Have fallen out!
Sherbet fountains, sherbet pips,
Foam bananas, candy sticks,
Flying saucers, pic n’ mix,
Jelly babies, jelly tots,
Lots and lots and lots and lots,
I like sweets
There is no doubt
But now my teeth
Have fallen out!
