Lyrics
Chorus
I’ve got a sweet tooth bothering me
Pull it out! Pull it out! Pull it out!
It isn’t candy or molasses
It isn’t honey, jam or cake
But when a sweet young lady passes
My tooth begins to ache
Like the dickens
I don’t use sugar at all in my coffee or my tea
But when I meet Rosie, Flo or May
My wisdom tooth says, “Keep away!”
But my sweet tooth starts bothering me
Extra Chorus from 1916 78rpm record by M.J. O’Connell (probably Billy Murray)
I’ve got a sweet tooth bothering me.
Pull it out, pull it out, pull it out!
It isn’t ice cream, cake or Huyler’s. *
I’ve not been eating sugar cane.
But every time I look at “chickens”,
Why, my tooth begins to pain–like the Dickens.
I don’t use sugar at all in my coffee or my tea.
But whenever I go near the beach,
My eye tooth says, “oh there’s a peach”.
But my sweet tooth starts bothering me.
