Lyrics
English
I had a loose tooth
I had a loose tooth
A wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
I had a loose tooth
A–hanging by a thread.
I pulled my loose tooth
My wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
Put it beneath my pillow
And then I went to bed.
The fairy took my loose tooth
My wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
And now I have a quarter
And a hole in my head.
I had a loose tooth
A wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
I had a loose tooth
A–hanging by a thread.
I pulled my loose tooth
My wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
Put it beneath my pillow
And then I went to bed.
The fairy took my loose tooth
My wriggly, jiggly loose tooth
And now I have a quarter
And a hole in my head.
Summary
The poem describes a child’s funny experience of losing a loose tooth. The tooth is wiggly and seems to be hanging by a thread. The child pulls it out, places it under the pillow, and goes to bed. A tooth fairy takes the tooth and leaves a quarter for the child. The poem ends humorously with the child having a hole where the tooth was.
