Toothbrush Song

(chorus:)
toothbrush, toothbrush,
I love my toothbrush
toothbrush
my red toothbrush

I can use it as a microphone

It can even be a telephone
It has a shiny little star
I can play it like a guitar

(chorus)

I can use it to clean my shoe

I can fly it like a magic broom

I can use it to comb my hair

I can hold it like a teddy bear

(chorus)

it keeps my teeth clean

nobody is ever mean
not even a crocodile
if I show my smile

(chorus)
