Bedtime Song for Unruly Children

Method in Madness Album: Singularity Track 22

Listen


Notes

Sometimes getting my kids to brush their teeth before bed is an exercise in futility.

Lyrics

[Verse]
past your bedtime
also past mine
gotta go to sleep
don't give me grief

[Verse 2]
don't want cavities
don't wanna get fillings
Gotta brush your teeth every night

[Chorus]
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Right now

[Verse 3]
Toothpaste swirl
Minty whirl
Spin that brush give it a twirl

[Verse 4]
Plaque won't stay
Brush away
send bad breath far away

[Chorus]
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Brush your stinkin' teeth
Right now

[Verse 5]
The moon is high
The stars now shine
Hear the crickets
No need to shout

[Verse 6]
Lights are dimming
Pajamas on
Tucked in tight
Dreams come along

[Chorus]
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
RIGHT NOW

[Verse 7]
The world is quiet
Why aren't you?
Close your eyes
cuz morning comes soon

[Bridge]
No more TV
No more play
it's time for bed
At the end of day

AAAAAARRRRGGGG!

[Chorus]
brush your stinkin' teeth
brush your stinkin' teeth
brush your stinkin' teeth
RIGHT NOW!

[Chorus]
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
RIGHT NOW

[Outro]
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
Go the fork to sleep
RIGHT NOW
