YOU'RE A PINK TOOTHBRUSH
(Irving Halfin / Dick James / David Ruvin)
Max Bygraves & Children's Choir - 1959
(Sound of noisy children followed by school bell)
MAX (Spoken): All right, all right, all right, all right, children, all right, Teacher's 'ere. Now, lessons, what shall we 'ave today? Arithmatic? (NO!). English? (NO!). Thank goodness for that. Now, what would you like? (Tell us a story). Tell you a story. I think that'll be a good idea (SON!). Yes, now then. Once upon a time there was a toothbrush who lived all alone in a great big bathroom. Alone, that is, except for a tube of toothpaste. The tube of toothpaste was very amorous. Sometimes it would turn its nozzle towards the toothbrush and sing "Squeeze me, squeeze me, never let me go", but the blue tootbrush didn't care for the toothpaste. Then one morning, what d'you think happened? There was another toothbrush in the rack. A pink toothbrush. And the blue toothbrush looked towards the pink toothbrush and said..........
You're a pink toothbrush
I'm a blue toothbrush
Have we met somewhere before
You're a pink toothbrush
And I think, toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door
Glad to meet, toothbrush
Such a sweet toothbrush
How you thrill me through and through
Don't be hard, toothbrush
On a soft toothbrush
'Cause I can't help loving you
Ev'ry time I hear you whistle
It makes my nylon bristle
You're a pink toothbrush
I'm a blue toothbrush
Won't you marry me in haste
I'll be true, toothbrush
Just to you, toothbrush
When we both use the same toothpaste
MAX (Spoken): All right, children, I wanna see if you've been listening. When I say "two", join in on the chorus. One, three.....
CHILDREN:
You're a pink toothbrush
I'm a blue toothbrush
Have we met somewhere before
You're a pink toothbrush
And I think, toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door
Glad to meet, toothbrush
Such a sweet toothbrush
How you thrill me through and through
Don't be hard, toothbrush
On a soft toothbrush
'Cause I can't help loving you
MAX:
Ev'ry time I hear you whistle
It makes my nylon bristle
ALL:
You're a pink toothbrush
I'm a blue toothbrush
Won't you marry me in haste
I'll be true, toothbrush
Just to you, toothbrush
When we both use the same toothpaste
MAX (Spoken): That was very good. You can all take the day off! CHILDREN: HOORAAAAAYYYYYY!!!
