Got up early with the morning sun
Every day is like a race to run
Stepped into the bathroom with slumber in my eyes
Stood before the basin and much to my surprise
There was a little blue man standing on my toothbrush
I asked him what he's doing there, he said "not much"
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can’t begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
I asked politely if he'd kindly move
I made it clear that I did not approve
The little man ignored me like a cat before a king
He acted just as if it were an ordinary thing
To have a little blue man standing on your toothbrush
I'd understand if I’d been taking drugs and such
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
My tone grew firmer and I pinched my brow
I said "Hey, Mister, will you please go now!"
The man was unresponsive; he didn't seem to care
And I was feeling foolish in my socks and underwear
Before this little blue man standing on my toothbrush
But this was not a time to waver or to blush
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
I'd had enough of this politeness stuff
I grabbed the little man to pull him off
I met with no resistance and set him on the sink
But soon as I released him, I didn't more than blink
When there's the little blue man, standing on my toothbrush
I leaned upon the sink as if it were a crutch
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
Pulled him off again and lost control
Flung him down into the toilet bowl
I quickly pulled the lever and watched him swirl away
But when I turned around again I’m sad to have to say
There was the little blue man, standing on my toothbrush
Apparently he wasn’t something I could flush
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
I said then, "Little man, I have no choice"
There was determination in my voice
I took a pair of scissors and snipped the man in two
I threw away the pieces but as soon I was through
There was the little blue man, standing on my toothbrush
I thought upon reality I’d lost my clutch
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
I decided, though it might seem grim
In the kitchen I'd get rid of him
Dropped him in the blender, set it to purée
Poured it down the sink, took a moment out to pray
But there's the little blue man standing on my toothbrush
It did no good to grind him up to slimy mush
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can’t begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
Then I muttered to myself, "Well, tush!
Why not buy yourself a new toothbrush?"
Hurried to the market, after quickly getting dressed
Opened up the package, but you've obviously guessed
There was the little blue man, standing on that toothbrush
He seemed to think his new abode was mighty plush
I need to brush my teeth, or else I can't begin the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away
At this point I kind of lost my head
Don't recall exactly what I said
I guess they think I'm crazy 'cause I'm in a padded cell
And ev'ry day I have a new psychiatrist to tell
About the little blue man standing on my toothbrush
They never want to listen and they always rush
I haven't brushed my teeth and now I'll never start the day
Oh I wish that he would go the heck away away away
I wish that he would go the heck away!
