Listen children hide your teeth
You don’t wanna make him smile
The smell of teeth in the air then believe
he’s already been there for a while
Listen children say your prayers
You don’t want him to defile
Cause he’s counting your teeth and
the thief there’s too many teeth when he smiles
Chorus
The Man Who Smiles with too Many Teeth
Arriving home to a window broken you see standing at your open bathroom door with his back to you is a man in a black suit. He turns feeling your eyes on him. He is chewing on the business end of your toothbrush. He cocks his head to the side and offers it to you from across the hall. Then he smiles and his mouth has so many teeth in it that you can’t understand how they fit in there nor how he possibly kept it closed with so many teeth in there.
He makes a clicking sound as of bone on bone and through gritted teeth he says
