But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
The first verse of the song sets the stage for the rest of the tune. The narrator has lost his two front teeth, and he's not sure who to blame for this unfortunate event. However, he knows exactly what he wants for Christmas: his two front teeth back!

It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle."
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be,
If I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth,
See my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas!"

They're only seven years old,
And now they're learning to say,
"Tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch."

My two front teeth,
See my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
