The Tooth Fairy
The moon shone full and bright
From its very lofty height
On this special night,
As the Tooth Fairy shook out her wings for flight
The message came in loud and clear
A child has lost a tooth that's pearly white.
Nobody knows what this beautiful lady looks like.
She drifts in to the light
From the nightlight.
Not a sound do you hear
As over to the bed she draws near.
She feels the envelope under the pillow with its
Special freight.
The Tooth Fairy takes the Tooth out of the envelope
With care
The child shows no sign of fright
For the child has gone off to sleep with eyes shut
Tight.
Now in to the envelope goes the money for the
Tooth that is pearly white.
The trade has been made with out fear.
Next morning at daylight
A child picks up the envelope face full of delight
Knowing the Tooth Fairy has taken the tooth
Back to her place and that's alright.
