When my teeth are at rest in a glass by my bed And my hair lies somewhere in a drawer Then the world doesn't seem like a very nice place Not a very nice place anymore But I take out my teeth, from the glass by my bed And my hair from a drawer in the hall Still the world doesn't seem like a very nice place Not a very nice place, at all But I put in my teeth, and I put on my hair And a strange thing occurs when I do For my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth And my hair like my very own too And I'm ready to begin again Ready to begin again I'm reaching for the soap My heart is full of hope Again, again I'm ready to begin again Feeling like I've just begun Now I'm not afraid to raise the window shade And face the sun I put on my bracelets and brooches My rings and my pearls and my pins And as the new day approaches As the new day begins I'm ready to begin again Looking fresh and bright I trust Ready to begin again As everybody, must
