The Tooth Fairy's Confession
Everyone has a good old time,
they're written in songs, they're written in rhyme
they have their own days or have their own season
and none of those guys get more applause
than that fat old dude called Santa Clause!
Jack Frost is praised for nothing more
than leaving his artwork on windows and doors,
and the boogeyman gets accolades
for scarin' the hell outa Suzy and Dave.
I can't get busy with my petty labors
'til the Sandman goes and does me a favor.
They're all guys and all overrated - overpaid,
over loved, like that rabbit I dated,
and what do I get for a nighttime of chores
but a sack full of teeth and not a thing more.
Well, none of 'em will think it's so freakin' funny
when they find what I've done with that damn Easter Bunny!
Signed, The Tooth Fairy
