Silly Brushing Song
by Laurie Berkner & Tom’s of Maine
Lyrics:
I was in the state of Maine
when I heard the kids all say,
“We’ve made our own toothbrushing game
and we play it twice a day”
We gently brush for two whole minutes,
while we clean our teeth the natural way
So I asked them if they’d show me how to play?
And they said, “Okay!”
Got your toothbrush out? Check!
Got your toothpaste out? Check
Put your paste on your brush! Check!
And put your brush in your mouth! Check!
Now brush ‘em like you really mean it
brush ‘em like you really mean it
brush ‘em like you really mean it
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
Now get ready on the count of three
Find a new place in your mouth for you brush to be
1 2 3
AND brush ‘em like you’re really dancing
brush ‘em like you’re really dancing
brush ‘em like you’re really dancing
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
Now get ready on the count of three
Make a silly face for Silly Strawberry
1 2 3
Brush ‘em like you’re really silly
brush ‘em like you’re really silly
brush ‘em like you’re really silly
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm (brush ‘em up)
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm (brush ‘em down)
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm (in little circles)
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
Now get ready on the count of three
Find one last place for your brush to be
1 2 3
AND brush ‘em like you’re really mean it
brush ‘em like you’re really dancing
brush ‘em like you’re really silly
brush-a brush-a brush your tongue
ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh
ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh
gently gently brush your gums
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
That’s two whole minutes!
Now we’re done!
Rinse!
Spit!
la la la la la la
la la la la la la (rinse your brush)
la la la la la la (rinse that brush)
brush-a brush-a brush ‘em up!
