Entire song is done in a falsetto little boy's voice and on most sibilant "s"'s, a "whistling" sound is heard, much as would be emitted by one lacking his two front teeth.
Spoken intro:
'Twas the night before christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Suddenly i heard a strange noise down below
So, in my flannel pajamas i went tippy-toe
I could see old saint nick from the spot where i stood
So i slid down the banister just as fast as i could
Sung:
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 suzy sitting on a thistle
Every time i try to speak
Huh, all i do is whistle
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
Tongue click, bicycle bell, and an "oh, no!"
"Jingle bells" resumes in the second line of a verse
Tongue click, bicycle bell, and an "oh, no!"
"Jingle bells" resumes in the second line of a verse
Horse whinny and a sneeze
"Jingle bells" resumes in the second line of a verse
Horse whinny and a sneeze
"Jingle bells" completes its verse
Spoken:
Good old santa claus and all his reindeer
Huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy
Gee, but, but now when i go out and call "dancer, prancer, donnner and blitzen"
None of 'em can understand me
Cries
All i want for christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth?
Two more attempts to sound it correctly
All i want for christmas is my two front teeth
So i can wish you merry christmas
Christmas, christmas
Aww, for goodness sakes
Happy new year!
