All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

Inspired by a sea of smiling second graders all missing their front teeth, in 1944 Donald Gardner penned the Christmas Classic, "All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." At the time he was teaching music at public schools in Smithtown, New York.

"All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" was eventually recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers on December 6, 1948. This version reached the top of the charts in early 1949.

All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth has gone on to become a Christmas Classic and has been recorded by many others including Alvin and the Chipmunks. The song serves as the inspiration for the non-profit group, MyTwoFrontTeeth.org

All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

Every body pauses and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be...


All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."

It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle."
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be
If I could only whistle. (thhhh, thhhh)

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."

Music and Lyrics by Donald Gardner, 1944
