Lyrics
Come little baby brush your teeth
Encouragement for the baby to brush their teeth
Let us make them clean and white
Expressing the goal of cleanliness and whiteness
Brushing will keep the germs out of sight!
Highlighting the benefit of brushing in eliminating germs
Brush up, brush down and left to right!
Instructions for thorough brushing
No dear mommy - not today
Baby refusing to brush, citing having done so yesterday
I brushed my teeth yesterday
Reiteration of having brushed teeth the day before
Don't be lazy, oh my child
Encouraging the child not to be lazy in dental hygiene
In between your teeth, germs hide
Pointing out the presence of germs between teeth
Use your toothbrush to brush them aside
Encouragement to use the toothbrush to remove those germs
Now your smile is bright and wide
Complimenting the resulting bright and wide smile
Germs can come or stay or go
Indicating germs' ability to come and go
They are my friends don't you know
Viewing germs as friends, possibly a child's perception
The germs will start to decay your teeth
Warning about germs causing tooth decay
Then cavities will go very deep
Explaining the consequence of cavities due to decay
You'll feel pain in your gums and teeth as well
Describing the pain associated with decay
It will hurt and your breath will smell
Noting the discomfort and bad breath resulting from decay
Oh... Oh... Oh... No biscuit, no chocolate and no ice cream
List of sweets that might need to be avoided due to dental issues
No candy, no cake and no sweet cream
Further emphasis on avoiding sweet foods for dental health
You won't be able to eat anything sweet
Highlighting the consequence of being unable to eat sweets
And the dentist is who you will have to meet
Implication of needing to visit the dentist due to dental problems
Oh! Oh! Oh! These germs are so mean
Expressing disdain for the harmful nature of germs
I will keep my teeth very clean
Commitment to maintaining clean teeth
I will brush in the morning and at night
Promise to brush teeth morning and night for continual cleanliness
My teeth will always be shining and bright
Assertion that the teeth will always remain shiny and bright
