A Coin For A Tooth

Please dear fairy come to me
my tooth fell out,now there's a gap, you see.
It served me well from one to three
but now its time for another,for me

It left a gap, so when I smile
my tongue hangs out like a crocodile
I miss my tooth but now I know
that I will get a coin to show

I hid the tooth in a special place
a place the fairy could find,
in the morning the tooth was gone
a coin was now mine.

I have lots more baby teeth to loose
more gaps and coins to come
I'll open up a bank account
and save for a bike, that's fun.
