The Gappy Smile

My mouth was feeling gummy, so I went and told my mummy,
Then she took a look inside,
She finished looking in, she gave a little grin,
This is what she replied,
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile,
You'll just have your gap for a while,
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile,
No need to cry or shout, when your tooth drops out,
I didn't understand why my tooth was in my hand,
What was I supposed to do,
'They're just your baby teeth', She said, 'and underneath,
Your big new teeth are coming through',
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile,
You'll just have your gap for a while,
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile,
No need to cry or shout, when your tooth drops out,
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile,
Give a great, big, happy smile,
Give a great, big, happy gappy smile.
