You want to brush your teeth? Well, here we go!
But there're a few things that you need to know.
There's really nothing to it – I'll show you how to do it.

You've gotta brush gently side to side;
Be sure to use toothpaste with flouride.
Brush the food away and help to fight decay.

So brush 'em in the front, and brush 'em in the back –
'Cause that's the only way to attack the plaque.
Brush everywhere you chew – top, bottom, inside too.

So go around your mouth and get each one.
And when you're done, don't forget to brush your tongue.

I know it sounds surprising, but that's what I'm advising.
Your tongue can use a cleansing – if you get my meaning.

So brush 'em in the front, and brush 'em in the back –
'Cause that's the only way to attack the plaque.
Brush everywhere you chew – top, bottom, inside too.

Now I've given you my toothbrushing hints.
Except for one more thing – don't forget to rinse!
