Toothache

Mum, I've got a toothache

It's causing me such pain

I didn't sleep a wink last night

It's driving me insane

I'm frightened that the Dentist

will want to pull it out

and if he causes too much pain

I know I'll scream and shout

If I know he's gentle

I'll go there willingly

Oh please, please hold my hand Mum

and say you'll stay with me
