This is the way we use our mouths,
Use our mouths, use our mouths,
This is the way we use our mouths,
Smile, smile, smile.
This is the way we use our mouths,
Use our mouths, use our mouths,
This is the way we use our mouths,
Talk, talk, talk.
This is the way we use our mouths,
Use our mouths, use our mouths,
This is the way we use our mouths,
Chew, chew, chew.
These are the ways we use our mouths,
Use our mouths, use our mouths,
These are the ways we use our mouths.
Smile, Talk, Chew
This is the way I Brush my Teeth
Tune: Here We Go Round the Mulberry
Bush
This is the way I brush my teeth,
Brush my teeth, brush my teeth,
This is the way I brush my teeth,
I brush them back and forth.
A wiggle jiggle, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth
This is the way I brush my teeth,
I brush them back and forth.
Sparkle, Sparkle, Little Teeth
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Sparkle, sparkle little teeth
Up and above and underneath
In my mouth so clean and white
Cause I brush them morn and night
Sparkle, sparkle little teeth
Up and above and underneath.
A Toothbrush is a Useful Thing
Tune: Yankee Doodle Dandy
A toothbrush is a useful thing,
We always have ours handy,
I shake it out and hang it up
And keep it spic and spandy.
Put Your Toothbrush In
Tune: Hokey Pokey
You put your toothbrush in.
You put your toothbrush out.
You put your toothbrush in,
And you shake it all about,
Chorus: You do the Wiggle Jiggle,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about.
You show your clean white teeth.
You put your best smile on.
You show your clean white teeth,
Cause your cavities are gone.
Chorus: You do the Wiggle Jiggle,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about.
Happy Teeth
Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Brush, brush, brush, your teeth,
And they’ll be nice and white.
Brush front and back and in between
Your teeth will look just right.
Brush, brush, brush your teeth,
And they’ll be nice and white.
Mom Dad will floss your teeth
Every single night.
Brush, brush, brush your teeth,
And they’ll be nice and white.
Stay away from candy and pop
Your teeth will be tip-top.
Are You Eating Health Foods?
Tune: Frere Jacques
Are you eating, are you eating
Healthy foods, healthy foods
Foods like Andy Apple
And Polly Wolly Popcorn,
Are yummy for your tummy
Yummy for your tummy.
Are you eating, are you eating
Healthy foods, healthy foods
Foods like Cathy Carrot,
And Paula Pumpkin Pie,
Are good for your eyes,
Good for your eyes.
Are you eating, are you eating
Healthy foods, healthy foods
Foods like Chester Cheese and Crackers
With a glass of Millie Milk,
For strong teeth and bones,
Strong teeth and bones.
Are you eating, are you eating
Healthy foods, healthy foods
A glass of Oscar Orange Juice
Or maybe Bruno Broccoli,
And your boo-boos fade away,
Your boo-boos fade away.
Are you eating, are you eating
Healthy foods, healthy foods
Try Peter Peanut Butter
Spread on Sally Celery,
And you’ll grow big and strong,
You’ll grow big and strong.
Mary had a New Toothbrush
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary has a new toothbrush,
Anew toothbrush, a new toothbrush.
Mary had a new toothbrush,
She brushed the germs away.
She brushed or rinsed right after she ate,
Right after she ate, right after she ate.
She brushed or rinsed right after she ate,
to help prevent decay.
Fruits or vegetables were her snacks,
Were her snacks, were her snacks
Fruits or vegetables were her snacks,
She pushed junk food away.
She ate 3 balanced meals each day
Meals each day, meals each day.
She ate 3 balanced meals each day,
She’s strong in every way.
I’ve Just Visited the Dentist
Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
I’ve been brushing on my teeth
Every night and day.
I’ve been brushing on my teeth
Just to keep the germs away.
Don’t you hear the dentist saying?
Brush each tooth so well.
Don’t you hear the dentist saying?
I can always tell.
I’ve just visited the dentist
To keep my teeth healthy.
I’ve just visited the dentist
And this is what he said to me.
Brush your teeth every day
To keep them sparkling clean.
Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste
To keep them he-al-thy.
