I gave you sugar, you gave me decay
You crept in my mouth when the lights went away
I skipped the floss, and I’d laugh it off
Now I’m sittin’ in this chair with a numb jaw
You liked it best when I didn’t care
Sippin’ soda with my tangled hair
You told me "brushing’s such a pain,"
But now my teeth look like a candy cane (cracked and striped)
Didn’t think twice
When I ate that ice
Didn’t rinse, didn’t spit, didn’t brush at night
But now I know
That plaque will grow
If you don’t brush it off—it steals the show
Yeah, I made some real gross mistakes
Skipped all my brushes at night
I should’ve known it was bad
When my gums got red and tight
Thought candy made me look cool
Now I’m just toothless and weak
You snuck in like a disease
As you built your plaque on my teeth, oh
Plaque pirate, snack tyrant
Rottin’ me out like a sugar-crazed monster!
You never warned me 'bout the drill sound
Now I'm frozen, mouth open wide
Dentist’s got the X-rays now
Said I’m riddled with cavities inside
I used to laugh at the brush-nuts
Now I’m stuck with a mouth that cuts
Every sip burns like regret
And that mirror’s one I won’t forget
Didn’t take time
To brush two times
Didn’t floss, didn’t rinse, didn’t make it right
Now it’s too late
To turn back fate
Wish I listened when Mom said “Don’t be fake!”
Yeah, I made some real gross mistakes
Thought “one more snack” would be fine
I should’ve known I was wrong
When my breath could clear a line
Brushed once and thought I was done
Floss was “for losers and geeks”
But plaque don’t care who you are
It just chews your teeth while you sleep, oh
Plaque pirate, snack tyrant
Sinkin’ me deep like a tartar-time bandit!
Now I swish and I floss
And I time my brush
Two minutes long and I never rush
Electric b**t, with my minty paste
No more sugar sneaks, no tooth decay!
I’m stronger now, got a dental dream
Clean white smile with a super gleam
Lesson learned, and it’s here to stay:
Take care of Take care of your teeth every day!
