The Song Challenge:
The Love That Bites The Big One: Police in North Platte, Nebraska, have a case with bite.
They were called to the home of a 55-year-old woman who dropped her false teeth in the toilet, after
she had been partying and drinking with her boyfriend. The toilet backed up and the
boyfriend called a plumber. The plumber charged $50 to retrieve the dentures, which
the boyfriend paid. But the boyfriend refused to give the teeth to woman until he was paid back.
That's where the cops come in. The woman called police, saying she didn't have the money
and couldn't eat without her teeth. Police say they sat the two down and had the pair
work out deal. She signed an IOU and he gave back the choppers.
Redeem My Teeth by mousethief
(Tune: Brand New Key)
I dropped my dentures down the john Friday night
The plumber fished them back out; that's all right
But then it seemed I lacked the cash to pay
My boyfriend could, but would not, so I say-ay:
(Chorus)
I've got a boyfriend who's a cheapskate
He won't redeem my teeth
He wanted me to sign an I.O.U.
He must think I'm a thief!
Ain't been lookin' around a lot,
Because I thought he was neat,
But I've got a boyfriend who's a cheapskate
He won't redeem my teeth
I'm so embarrassed; the cops had to come
They must all think that I'm pretty dumb
I had to sign that stinkin' I.O.U.
Just to get back what I lost in the loo
(repeat chorus)
This is the boyfriend I let drive my car
He shares my bed, guess we go pretty far
It almost seems he thinks he's too good for me
I'm okay alone; friends like him I don't need
(repeat chorus & fade!)
