The Tooth Fairy Heist
Here's a story about a fictional character
That's not really fictional at all
It just another tall tale
That's not even really that tall
Long ago, when I was six
I put together a plan
I was gonna rob the tooth fairy
You know, the one who married Peter Pan?
See, I figured she had to be loaded
To pay for all those teeth
And be too ashamed to tell anyone
That a little boy was the thief
So, I was waiting in my bedroom
With an oversized butterfly net
It was already half passed midnight
But I hadn't seen a sign of her yet
Well, I had just about given up
When I heard a noise outside
And in no time at all, the window flew open
So I had to find a place to hide
It was her alright, just like I'd imagined
With those little white wings and all
And with just one swipe of my trusty net
I caught her, and she started to fall
She said, "What are you doing? Let me go,
Or I'm gonna call the police"
But I knew she was only bluffing
And she'd have to pay for her release
Now to make a long story shorter
Things were getting pretty intense
So she gave me all the money she had
But it was only thirty-five cents
See, I was the last stop on her list
And her money was already gone
But she be back one day soon
And I knew it wouldn't be long
That was the last time I saw her
I heard she's invisible now
I never gave up trying to rob her
But I just couldn't figure out how
